Abstract
Energy efficiency in office building is very important to the user, there has been closure of different offices due to high cost of maintenance especially high cost of energy. This study therefore focuses on exploring the use of architecture design Elements for energy efficiency in office Building. The problem definition being that anthropometry, space articulation, shape, volume, texture, among other architecture Design elements can be used to achieve a healthy and low energy consumption Building that will be user friendly. The argument draws its background to the study of relevant literature and case studies. The methodology used in carrying out this research is case study of existing office Complex studied. variables where properly studied and used in designing a proposed Office Complex which significantly reduces energy Consumption. The site location and its suitability for the proposed building were also studied. In conclusion, by applying Energy efficiency strategies During design and Construction, there is possibility of achieving about 70% lesser drop in energy consumption in Building.
