.... In New Zealand, however, the integration of energy efficiency ( EE ), water efficiency ( WE ) and indoor environmental quality ( IEQ ) remains a critical but underexplored area. This study aims to investigate the combined benefits, challenges and recommendations associated with integrating EE, WE...

..., because of their significant energy consumption. In Sri Lanka, central air conditioning systems in commercial buildings mainly target energy efficiency initiatives on the waterside, with significantly less attention given to the airside. Hence, this study aims to identify the enablers for implementing...

...Nehal Elshaboury; Eslam Mohammed Abdelkader; Abobakr Al-Sakkaf; Ashutosh Bagchi Purpose The energy efficiency of buildings has been emphasized along with the continual development in the building and construction sector that consumes a significant amount of energy. To this end, the purpose...

...Shahryar Habibi Purpose The purpose of this study is to design a zero-energy home, which is known to be capable of balancing its own energy production and consumption close to zero. Development of low-energy homes and zero-net energy houses (ZEHs) is vital to move toward energy efficiency...

.... Furthermore, it seeks to create an initial step toward exploiting opportunities to develop new climate-responsive building techniques particularly in setting up a micro-scale energy management policy. Energy efficiency User behaviour Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) Energy management systems...

... to be a transition in climate change debate. Their work showed that opportunity for agency to overcome the threat of climate change is often needed and can be achieved by a range of actions such as measuring one's own eco‐footprint, recycling more, buying green products, using energy‐efficient lights and appliances...
