Understanding High Performance Building Through the Integration of Renewable Solar Energy

High Performance Building is a future approach for sustainable development, focusing on energy efficiency, reducing carbon footprint, enhancing user comfort, and promoting a self-sufficient system. In the current times, where climate change is a major challenge, shifting to the use of renewable energy, such as solar, is a key element to achieve net-zero energy goals. This paper will study how the integration of solar and wind technology can contribute to the efficiency of buildings, keeping the climate and function in place. Case study – The Edge and CII Sohrabji Green Godrej Business Centre will explore the integration of renewable energy and design strategies with active and passive techniques as architectural approaches. The paper concludes that the integration of renewable energy is a fundamental need for high-performance buildings in urban contexts.AimTo study, understand the role and integration of solar energy in achieving high-performance and energy-efficient buildings.Objectives1.
