relation between eco-house and eco-city elements. The terms and theories
accompanying eco-house design are discussed. The research studies the
strategies and techniques used to achieve high performance of sustainability,
and reaches a comprehensive design methodology for eco-bouse projects for
designers to follow in order to reach a sustainable performance. The thesis
studies The Carnegie Institute for Global Ecology as an. example for
integration of various strategies and techniques, and studies the Thomson foy
