It is very common part of discussion that normal structures lag behind in terms of energy saving and its corresponding impacts on environment. This drives research to show implementation of common solutions and concepts that can be easily applied by majority of individuals to fulfill sustainable and self-sufficient goals to lead to a better habitat to live in. The aim of paper is to explore proper application of most common and most essential cost-effective design solutions to make structure following a step towards self-sufficient in itself. The paper has emphasized on quantitative and mathematical approach of study generating owns secondary data, from various research papers that are based upon similar background aspects. The value analyzed for solar panel tilt should range from 20o-30o for maximum efficiency, similarly distance between panels should be 1m-1.6m and horizontal shading device and vertical shading device should have at least depth of 450mm and 700mm respectively. The study is limited to a particular climate and region. i.e., Northeast region of India and focuses only upon most critical parameters. This paper will provide new directions for self-sufficiency in structures, which will further add values to the domain of architecture and civil engineering. Further, new areas of research can be application of new design alternatives for self-sufficiency, with respect to several other climatic conditions and regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Adaptive, Green, Smart and Eco sensitive buildings are one of the most trending topics with prime focus on Eco sensitive approaches. Last few years were worse for us, as pandemic struck hard and made us to rethink on such topics and our living standards. The aim of paper is to highlight the importance and necessity of adaptive, green, smart and Eco sensitive built-in, as per today's context and scenario. In order to this, paper focuses quantitative approach of study from data analysis of various literature review papers to compare between conventional and green buildings on normal ground with basic factors. It has been analyzed with the data that green building can perform better with respect to conventional building in adverse scenarios with less negative impact on environment. This paper will open the door sustainability in broader context and will enrich the domain of civil engineering to great extent. New areas of research can be development of Eco-sensitive material within low-cost budgets, so that it can even be implemented in small scale projects, which will enhance the living standards further.
