| dc.description.abstract | Due to the steady growth of population in urban cities, we tend to keep building and densify our built environment as never seen before. As this remains true and only continues to accelerate, it is imperative to act more responsibly and vigorously toward minimizing the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that the construction sector shares.
Being a major contributor, the construction sector, involves a massive account of 39% of all the carbon emissions according to the green building Council. This comprises so many detailed inquiries amongst all the processes of manufacturing, transportation, engineering, constructing, and the end-user process could be mentioned.
This thesis will design a campus building and approach a holistic manner through the process of minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Various design and simulation tools have been implemented along the way to notify, optimize, and maximize on-site renewable energy generation and increase the energy efficiency of the building. | |
