In the contemporary urban landscape, cities grapple with pressing environmental challenges, particularly in energy consumption and ecological impact. This research recognizes the imperative for a paradigm shift in the design of multi-storey buildings to effectively address these challenges. Introducing a novel taxonomy and evaluation methodology tailored to multi-storey structures, this study delves into the intricate relationship among bioclimatic and environmental characteristics, architectural design, and ecological footprint. Through a meticulous analysis of twenty multi-storey buildings, the research discerns how these features become inherent to a building form and overall environmental impact, thereby influencing its energy efficiency and sustainability. Findings contribute to a systematic categorization of key parameters that shape energy efficiency and environmental impact in multi-storey constructions. The combination of both passive and active design strategies is at the forefront of the designers’ arsenal. This structured framework offers architects, urban planners, and policymakers valuable insights for informed decision-making, fostering the development of a new generation of multi-storey buildings that are both iconic and ecologically responsible.
