Abstract
The use of renewable energy sources is a fundamental factor for a possible energy policy in the future. Considering the sustainable character of most of renewable energy technologies, they are able to preserve resources and to provide security, diversity of energy supply and services, virtually without environmental impact. Sustainability has acquired great importance due to the negative impact of various developments on environment. The rapid growth during the last decade has been accompanied by active construction, which in some instances neglected the impact on the environment and human activities. Policies to promote the rational use of electric energy and to preserve natural non-renewable resources are of paramount importance. Low energy design of urban environment and buildings in densely populated areas requires consideration of wide range of factors, including urban setting, transport planning, energy system design and architectural and engineering details. The focus of the world’s attention on environmental issues in recent years has stimulated response in many countries, which have led to a closer examination of energy conservation strategies for conventional fossil fuels. One way of reducing building energy consumption is to design buildings, which are more economical in their use of energy for heating, lighting, cooling, ventilation and hot water supply. Consumption of the primary energy will be reduced by following natural or hybrid ventilation, some Passive measures compared to air-conditioning. Fossil fuels dependency will be reduced by the utilization of renewable energy in agricultural greenhouses and buildings. Thus, promotion of the novel renewable applications and its fortification resulting in the preservation of the ecosystem. This will also contribute to the amelioration of environmental conditions by replacing conventional fuels with renewable energies that produce no air pollution or greenhouse gases. Present study described about various low energy building designs and explains the effects of dense urban building on energy consumption and in the climatic changes. Moreover, this study outlines some measures to save energy in buildings.
