  • Energy Efficiency in Architecture: an Overview of Design Concepts and Architectural Interventions
    Energy efficiency in architecture: An overview of design concepts and architectural interventions buildings, as they are designed and used today, contribute to serious environmental problems because of excessive consumption of energy and other natural resources. The close connection between energy use in build- ings and environmental damage arises because energy intensive solutions sought to construct a building & meet its demands for heating, cooling, ventilation & lighting cause severe depletion of invaluable environmental resources. However, buildings can be designed to meet occupant’s need for thermal and visual comfort at reduced levels energy & resources consumption. En- ergy resource efficiency in new constructions can be effected by adopting an integrated approach to building design. The primary steps in this approach would be to: Incorporate solar passive techniques in a building design to minimise load on conventional systems (heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting) Passive systems provide thermal and visual comfort by using natural energy sources and sinks e.g. solar radiation, outside air, sky, wet surfaces, vegeta- tion, internal gains etc. Energy flows in these systems are by natural means such as by radiation, conduction, convection with minimal or no use of mechanical means. The solar passive systems thus, vary from one climate to the other e.g. in a cold climate an architects’ aim would be design a building in such a way that solar gains are maximised, but in a hot climate his primary aim would be to reduce solar gains, maximise natural ventila- tion and so on. Design energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) Once the passive solar architectural concepts are ap- plied to a design, the load on conventional systems (HVAC and lighting) is reduced.
