Abstract : This study claify how to improve sustainable credits in high-rise structures by investigating the integration of biophilic design principles into ecological footprint measures. This study demonstrates how comparative techniques can efficiently handle the issues connected with urban high-rise development while boosting sustainability. The study focuses on the impact of biophilic design in decreasing energy consumption material use and waste , Water Management, Air Quality Improvement on environmentally, Thermal Design and Comfort, to increases the overall environmental effects of high-rise structures. By adding natural components into the built environment, the study demonstrates how biophilic design may contribute to more sustainable, energy-efficient, and health-conscious architectural practices in the context of vertical urbanization. The findings highlight the necessity of incorporating natural solutions to promote sustainable building practices that are consistent with larger environmental aims by assessesment using framework analysis of five case studies from best sustainble highrise building: The Oasia Hotel Downtown (Singapore), Bosco Verticale (Milan), The Edge (Amsterdam), Commerzbank (Frankfurt), and Parkroyal Collection Pickering (Singapore).

Keywords : Biophlic Desgin, Highrise Buildings, Sustainble Credits, Ecological Footprint, Urban Environment.
