SUSTAINABLE DESIGNS AND IMPACTS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF FACULTY BUILDINGS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BENIN

ABSTRACT

Sustainable design as a building design philosophy is at a critical era in the world, and the widespread adoption of this philosophy is essential. This paper investigates the underlying negative effect of a lack of this phenomenon in the faculty buildings in respect of energy consumption. This study follows standard research techniques that include surveys and in-depth interviews with both designers and users. This study suggest that sustainable design was not incorporated into the design of faculty buildings, resulting in the lack of clean energy in the building. This report exposes the risks of not implementing sustainable building design in university building facilities and emphasizes the utilization of sustainable building designs to achieve a comfortable built environment.
