Nowadays, it is very important to research renewable energy sources for energy production because of high energy consumption and global warming phenomena. The tendency of using the building materials produced with low energy consumption and respect to environmental conservation has been increasing all over the world. In this context, adobe which is produced by the raw materials taken from the nature and formed by human, can be seen as ecologic and renewable building material. However, adobe is used rarely in new buildings in our country. Even in rural area, the concrete briquettes are much more used than the adobe in the buildings. Whereas, it is seen that adobe is used frequently in the modern buildings in developed countries like Europe and United States in order to prevent the high energy consumption in the constructions.In this study, adobe was researched in detail in order to present the advantages and disadvantages of using this material in the buildings. For this purpose, some examples of buildings were given from the developed countries. And also, it was aimed to make a contribution to increase using the adobe material in our country with the view of environmental conservation
