dc.description.abstractHot-dry climates present environmental challenges, including high temperatures and a heavy reliance on energy systems for indoor comfort. In Nigeria, where power supply is often unreliable, educational buildings depend on energy-consuming systems to maintain comfortable environments. Globally, buildings account for over 40% of non-renewable energy consumption, highlighting the need for sustainable solutions. This research explores integrating passive design strategies, architectural principles, and renewable energy in educational buildings, particularly faculty structures, to enhance energy efficiency. Using a case study approach, three examples were analyzed and compared with secondary data. Findings reveal that passive strategies, such as proper building orientation, natural ventilation, evaporative cooling, and renewable energy sources, can significantly reduce the need for active cooling systems. This approach supports climate-responsive architecture, lowers energy demands, and promotes comfortable learning environments. Dormitories, often requiring excessive energy, can benefit from passive design to improve study conditions and minimize energy use. The study emphasizes the role of architects in adopting environmentally friendly, cost-effective solutions. Recommendations include encouraging architectural bodies to promote energy-efficient design practices. Passive design is vital for enhancing thermal comfort, reducing energy use, and creating sustainable, comfortable built environments in the face of climate change.
