Summary

Introduction

Climate change[1], and its subsequent impacts on the lives of inhabitants and infrastructure is a significant problem globally. Addressing this challenge is core to the people, organizations, or governments who realize its catastrophic impacts on inhabitants’ survivability. Mainly commercial and institutional buildings, are among the sources that consume a massive amount of energy and become the source of producing carbon emissions. A significant proportion of the total energy consumed across the world is attributed to buildings[3,4,5]; for instance, in Hong Kong, buildings account for 90% of the electricity consumed with, 30% of this consumed energy attributed to residential buildings. Likewise[3] in India, 35% of the total energy consumed is attributed to the buildings sector
