Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency in buildings involves reducing energy consumption while maintaining comfort and functionality. This can be achieved through improved insulation, high-performance windows, energy-efficient lighting, and advanced HVAC systems. Enhancing energy efficiency lowers operational emissions and contributes to ZEB objectives by minimizing the need for energy production. Moreover, energy-efficient buildings often result in cost savings over time, making them economically viable and environmentally responsible choices in sustainable design.
