Developing Strategies of Integrated Whole System Design Approach for Energy Efficient Buildings

According to Addy et al. (2014) most of our time is spent in buildings i.e. either in the office or at home where buildings actually consume up to 40% of the total global energy. Therefore, energy efficient building is very important to reduce the total energy used and greenhouse gas emissions to...

Summary: According to Addy et al. (2014) most of our time is spent in buildings i.e. either in the office or at home where buildings actually consume up to 40% of the total global energy. Therefore, energy efficient building is very important to reduce the total energy used and greenhouse gas emissions to prevent climate change. However, the disintegration of multi- participants in construction particularly in the design process is the main barrier to limit the energy efficient building. Hence, whole system design is one such approach that aims to integrate social, economic and environmental phenomena into a comprehensive design solution. This approach encourages the development of partnerships between all project stakeholders from a variety of different backgrounds, disciplines and sectors to develop an energy efficient building at a whole system level.
