The building geometry plays a significant role in energy-efficient design as it determines the amount of natural light and ventilation that enters a building, and the amount of heat that escapes.
An efficient building design must consider the orientation of the building and its relationship with the sun's path to maximize daylighting and minimize the need for artificial lighting. A building's shape and configuration can also affect air circulation, limiting the need for artificial ventilation and cooling.
Additionally, the building's envelope, including walls, windows, and the roof, must be appropriately designed to minimize energy loss. By using quality insulation and building materials, a building can reduce energy consumption, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the building.
Overall, building geometry and design play a crucial role in creating sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly buildings.
