Abstract
This research explores sustainable design strategies and energy-efficient technologies in train terminals, aiming to minimize energy consumption while maintaining operational efficiency. A mixed-method approach is employed, combining an extensive literature review with case studies of existing train terminals. The study identifies key design elements and innovative technologies that contribute to energy savings, such as optimized building orientation, the integration of renewable energy systems like solar panels and wind turbines, and the use of energy-efficient lighting systems. By examining how these strategies can be applied, the research highlights the potential for significant reductions in energy use, offering insights for architects, engineers, and transport authorities. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of balancing energy efficiency with the overall functionality and comfort of the space to ensure a positive passenger experience. The findings are expected to serve as valuable guidelines for the future design and operation of sustainable train terminals, helping to reduce the environmental impact of transport infrastructure while supporting
long-term energy goals and enhancing passenger satisfaction.
