A Comprehensive Review of Energy-efficient Design Principles for Modern Buildings

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of energy-efficient design principles for modern buildings, highlighting the importance of sustainable architecture in reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. The review covers various design strategies and technologies, including passive design, high-performance building envelopes, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Additionally, it examines the role of building information modeling (BIM), smart building technologies, and green building certifications in promoting energy efficiency. Through an analysis of current practices and case studies, this paper offers insights into the effective implementation of energy-efficient design principles, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that combines architectural innovation, technological advancement, and regulatory support to achieve sustainability goals in the built environment.
