AB - Between various building materials and technology solutions for structural and architectural realization of residential building as well as various effects in use period we do not know which of variants gives the best performance from sustainable development point of view. This paper aims to give a model for optimization of housing construction technology based on some aspects of sustainable development as a set of multi-criteria: energy consumption of building, - renewable resource use, and - air pollution by CO2 emission. The model uses the multi-criteria compromise ranking technique. As a result we take he rank-list of variants and then we can select the best ones or several better variants. This diversity of acceptable solutions gives opportunity to meet future housing demand depending to different possibilities and interests of user, but by environmentally sustainable manner. This paper gives case study of some typical single-family houses in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
