Description
Sustainable energy design helps to mitigate such impacts and contributes to a less energy intensive economy and a more sustainable environment. There are multiple elements and factors which impact the total building energy consumption. They range from building envelope elements to HVAC system components. None of these factors can be looked at in isolation; only the calculation of the overall outcome will show the effectiveness of the design.
Objective
The Energy [E] category is concerned with improving the design and energy performance of the development having a direct and positive impact on both the consumption of resources and environmental quality including climate change, fossil fuel depletion, air pollution and human comfort, health and well-being.
