Abstract

Energy efficiency is a fundamental element in the progression towards a future low-carbon economy. Improvements in energy efficiency have played a key role in limiting global increases in energy consumption of resources and greenhouse gas emissions over the past three decades, while maintaining the quality of the energy service. As global energy demand continues to grow, actions to increase energy efficiency will be essential. To achieve this energy efficient methods are to be implied. Construction industry plays a major role in the use of large amount of energy resources and hence energy efficient buildings are been the optimal technique for energy saving against larger consumption of energy source. This article reviews about the energy efficient buildings to achieve the reduction in emission of green house gases and depletion of energy resources. This article reviews on the various research papers and case studies on energy efficient buildings as in residential, commercial as well as in business means.
