Analysis and Design of Energy Efficient Building (original) (raw)

2019, International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology

The building sector alone is responsible for 40%-50% of total energy consumption. Fossil fuel reserve in India is depleting in a rapid way with development of the country. An increase in demand of new residential and commercial buildings is sign of economic development but with this comes an increased consumption of energy, raw materials and resources and becoming impossible to meet the demands of consumer with increasing population. The energy consumed by the buildings mainly affects the pollution, green house emission, environmental degradation. Green building and energy efficient buildings in general are growing and has become the preferred concept by engineers, government and financial bodies to meet all these issues regarding environment and health. Considering all these impacts this paper deals with the case study of BV'S Institute of Environment Education and Research Building and to analyze the annual and monthly energy consumption of the building by using popular energy simulation tool-eQuest to predict whether the building is Energy Efficient Building and if not various energy saving design alternatives will be recommended to reduce the energy consumption of the building.
