The project aims at the design of an energy efficient building taking into consideration of various criteria's. The preliminary objective of this paper is to reduce the energy consumption of an existing building with minimum cost, wastage and environmental impacts. Passive Energy Management principles...
A case study of two different buildings in Gode (one of the hottest area in Ethiopia) was conducted using building energy simulation software to quantify the energy saving from some of the design improvement measures such as using insulation in roof or ceiling and in walls, window glazing and ...
Green design is the creation of energy-efficient buildings which are flexible and designed for long life. It should have a minimal 1 on the environment, both in terms of products and materials 2 in the construction and in the functionality of the building. A sustainable design should always 3...
While cost reduction efforts are often made based on a, relatively, fixed building process, this research is focused on reducing the costs by changing the building process with the help of innovative building technologies. The construction of a building is a very complex practice with a wide ...

energy-saving design,energy-saving design of single building,utilization of renewable energy and other aspects building energy efficiency design is discussed in depth in order to improve people's understanding on energy-saving of buildings and promote the development of energy-saving work of buildings....
The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm's attention is the design of buildings.Today,thousands of people come to (50)___ building conferences,and the idea that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly (51)___ in years to come.Back in 19...
Designing energy efficient and comfortable buildings requires harmonizing the complex interactions of architecture, construction and building service engineering. The building envelope has a particular importance, since it integrates many functions and has direct influence on indoor climate. Focusing on satisfac...
Performance gaps between design and actual performance have however been identified as a significant challenge for both energy performance, occupant satisfaction and operational costs. There is no doubt about the importance of a holistic approach to turn the inter-related series of building design and ...
Given this situation, it becomes imperative to designenergy-efficient buildingsto reduce both the environmental impact and the associated costs. One of the strategies to achieve this is to properly plan the facade, which, serving a function similar to the building's skin, can help reduce the ene...
