Implication

Mixed-methods analysis assesses sustainability of high-rise buildings in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, highlighting key challenges.

Key Points

  • High-rise buildings in Nigeria address land scarcity but often do not meet sustainable urban goals effectively.
  • Energy simulations show that many high-rise buildings exceed national cooling load standards, raising concerns about environmental performance.
  • Surveys of 158 occupants reveal low satisfaction with thermal comfort and sense of community in high-rise living.
  • Recommendations include a national high-rise code and promoting green building certification to enhance sustainability.
