Industrial revolution, which started at the end of the 18 th century, brought great global changes as manual work was replaced with automated mechanical work. Unfortunately, even though this revolution resulted in significant growth of economy and a number of new discoveries, it triggered a negative effect as well, i.e. global warming. A significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions on our planet deplete the ozone layer and have already led to irreparable consequences for our climate and planet. And even though, according to scientists, it is no longer possible to repair the damage caused, the present generation of mankind is the last one that can stop further degradation of the planet. One of the most important roles in solving the problems of global warming is played by architecture as the production and processing of materials, construction and maintenance of buildings and facilities requires an enormous amount of energy from solid fuel, which is one of the main sources of CO 2 . However, the negative impact of architecture on the environment does not end with construction and maintenance of buildings as the majority of buildings are designed without considering their fate after the estimated period or if functional needs have changed. In order to prevent the negative impact of architecture on the environment, it is necessary to change the priority treatment and architectural design principles. Thus, this Master’s thesis aims at investigating the existing trends of ecological or energy-efficient buildings in Lithuania and the world and forming a conceptual model of the design of multifunctional eco-buildings that would help to ensure that the designed building is in harmony with the natural, urban and social framework. Based on the analysis of the collected literature and sources, the most ecological or, in the case of Lithuania, energy-efficient multifunctional buildings were investigated, including the analysis of legislation defining the development trends of ecological architecture, sustainable ...
