Stated in architectural terms, this "energy ethic" could be simply understood in new attitudes as a resource over "hea t losses" and "hea t gains," a new sophisti t cation in the standards adopted for the environmental control of buildings, architectura l form and materials by : AI used. All above mayor may not enhance the con serva tion of energy.Of these broad factors, which are sufficiently covered in general as well as in spe cialized literature, the subfactors pertaining to arch itectural form are of generic importance, especia lly when one makes the assumption that "materials" and "technological sophistication" can be easily controlled by the discrimin ating designer. This logic brin gs us to the fund amental fact that it is the basic design of a work of architec ture which reveals wheth er or not a building is an "ethical" statement regarding en ergy. The same logic also demands our attention to the ever present considerations for "space" creation which was and should always be the task of archi tects. Space should transcend the "shelter" require ments and be qualitative enough so as to stimulate efficient function, comfort, interaction and psycholog ical appeal for the users. The componen t of the "space" achieving process considered abstrac tly are physical as well as human. ' The physical componen ts of space- are the three dimensions which finally de termin e the architectural mass as well as the se quence of solids and voids which control the quality of the interior through the established rhythm of lighting. Th e human componen t depends on the users of the space who through their "life styles" (a nd needs ), cultura l connotation or certain appreciation of "schemata'<' crea te feedback to the three dimensional entity set by the architect and give respective mean ing into it.! It appea rs, therefore, that architecture which sets conservation of energy as its task must seek to satisfy both, three dimensional as well as hu 1.
