    Application of Passive and Adaptive Energy Design Principles in the Design of a Vocational Study Center
    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024-12) Abolaji Mutiu SHITTU
    Energy needs in buildings are in continuous demand and rising carbon emissions, and dependence on non-renewable resources contribute to an increase in health, environmental, and economic risks. In the modern society of architecture today, building designs rely heavily on mechanical systems to solve, adjust, optimize and regulate heating, cooling and lighting effects in a building interior. In order to reduce air pollution levels and greenhouse gasses, there should be a focus on the design and construction of more passive buildings, thus contributing to a more sustainable environment. This research investigated the necessary design strategies essential for the design of a sustainable building through a study of literature and case studies. A vocational center was designed using energy efficiency principles and elements to enhance human activity and promote energy efficiency. The study concludes that energy efficiency should be prioritized in design and construction.
