    Invigoration of Energy Efficiency Principles in the Design of a Vocational Training Center At Gbedun Village, Ona Ara, Oyo State.
    (Lead City University, 2023-12) Marvel Ewaoluwa OYEDEJI
    Due to the general rise in carbon emissions, energy efficiency in vocational centers is gradually becoming a necessity. Sustainable energy practices must be developed in order to alleviate the already present climate change challenges. The lack of energy efficiency in vocational centers results in increased operating costs and environmental impact, while also limiting educational opportunities and creating uncomfortable learning environments. The purpose of this study is to investigate how architectural design elements might improve the energy efficiency of vocational facilities. The issue is that user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing buildings can be created using anthropometry, space articulation, shape, volume, texture, and other architectural design concepts. The background of the argument is derived from the examination of pertinent case studies and literature. Case studies of real-world vocational institutions were explored as the research technique. Variables were thoroughly researched and utilized in the design of a proposed vocational training facility to drastically lower energy use. Additionally, the location of the site and its suitability for the planned construction were investigated. Finally, by utilizing energy-saving techniques There is a chance to reduce the building's energy use by roughly 70% during design and construction.
