Energy Smart Buildings: Potential for Conservation and Efficiency of Energy
2014
Overview
Globally demand for energy is escalating with the passage of time due to increased population and consumption. In order to meet the increased energy demand and ensure its sustainable supply, different options are being considered. Pakistan is also facing the severe energy crisis from last couple of years. This energy crisis has seriously hampered the economic growth and development progress. In this situation intensive efforts are being invested by concerned departments and agencies to enhance the production and supply to reduce the current shortfall. However, there are certain demand side issues which can be worked out to achieve the energy conservation and efficiency. Keeping energy conservation and efficiency in view, present study focuses the energy smart buildings. These buildings have relatively reduced energy demand and better efficiency that can significantly contribute to the conservation of energy. Study is a quantitative analysis that is based on secondary data sources collected from concerned departments (e.g. ENERCON). Research also examines the government's proposed conservation strategies and buildings code of Pakistan. The findings of the present research reveal that energy smart buildings have significant potential for conservation and efficiency of energy. Moreover, we can save lot of money by adopting energy conservation technologies in buildings.
