Abstract
Natural lighting and ventilation are essential components of building design and operation that help to create environments that are favorable for learning, working, and general well- being. However, the inability of many academic buildings to efficiently utilize these natural resources causes a number of problems that have an impact on energy usage and occupant satisfaction. In order to overcome these obstacles, all-encompassing plans that give natural lighting and ventilation system integration top priority in faculty building designs are needed. This research investigated the need for healthier, more comfortable, and energy-efficient environments within faculty buildings through literature and case studies. A science faculty building was designed using natural lighting and ventilation principles and elements to enhance human activity and promote energy efficiency. The study concludes that natural systems of lighting and ventilation are essential aspects of any building and should be prioritized in design and construction.
