Without understanding architectural relationship to natural systems and environment, it is impossible to design proper buildings. It is impossible to understand the natural environment without knowing how human intervention affects it – both positively and negatively. As man and nature begin to recognize their interdependence and relationship, the study of environment takes on a whole new holistic meaning. In search for new alternative ways of energy sources, more attention is paid to innovation, energy conservation and thermal conductivity, sustainability and the environment (air, water, bio sphere and soil), as well as economical sustainability. This research promotes the model for northern Serbian province of Vojvodina, through modern sustainable eco-buildings and energy conservation required level of sustainability can be achieved. The paper is based on main integral and eco principles of environmental protection. Applying the interdisciplinary approach and environmental thinking we are creating the shifts in environmental protection strategy, the new values that are effective way of protecting the environment and preserving our planet, which is expected from the developed and the social society as well as from developing countries.
