Abstract

Building sector is a major consumer of electricity, it is imperative to evolve building designs that would utilize solar and wind energy to the fullest possible extent for ameliorating thermal environment indoors. Architects and engineers who incorporate energy design concepts and methods into their design projects can play a significant role in reducing energy consumption and achieving sustainable energy structure for our society. Energy Conservation Building Codes (ECBC) have proven to be sources of’ lasting energy savings in new construction.

Keywords
