Abstract
An energy-efficient building creates comfortable living conditions inside the dwelling with the least possible amount of energy consumption maximizing efficiency in use of resources. Measures to make a building energy-efficient encompass the building’s entire lifecycle: the construction process itself, going into the operation maintenance cycle and demolition phases of the building. An energy-efficient building keeps the building fully functional and thermally comfortable for its occupants as well. With the cost of energy increasing and the energy crisis being an imminent reality, the need to provide energy-efficient building designs becomes more important. As per energy statistics data obtained for 2017 for India from the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation, buildings account for the second-highest consumption of energy after industries. An energy-efficient building balances all aspects of energy use in a building by providing an optimized mix of passive solar–design strategies, energy-efficient equipment, and renewable sources of energy.
