Abstract
The hospitality industry is a significant consumer of energy, particularly in luxury hotels where high levels of comfort and amenities are expected. This thesis explores the potential of passive design strategies to minimize energy consumption in luxury hotels while maintaining or enhancing guest experience. Passive design strategies, which leverage natural elements and architectural features to regulate building temperature and lighting, offer a sustainable approach to energy efficiency. The research investigates various passive design techniques, including building orientation, natural ventilation, thermal mass, daylighting, and shading devices. Case studies of existing luxury hotels Including the Burj Al Arab, Rosewood Abudhabi for international and Three local case studies, such as the Transcorp Hilton Abuja, Lagos continental Hotel and The Art hotel, Lagos; that have implemented these strategies provide real-world insights into their effectiveness. The study also examines the integration of green roofs and facades, the use of high-performance building materials, and the role of landscaping in energy conservation. By evaluating the performance and benefits of these strategies, the thesis aims to demonstrate that sustainable practices can significantly reduce the energy footprint of luxury hotels without compromising their quality and appeal. The findings are expected to provide valuable guidelines for architects, developers, and hotel operators aiming to enhance sustainability in the hospitality sector.
