This study aims to explore energy efficiency strategies specifically for mosques in hot-humid climates.
Assessment of energy consumption patterns in three mosques in Sharjah.
Mixed-methods approach combining stakeholder interviews with quantitative energy data analysis.
Simulation-based assessments of energy performance with focus on economic and environmental impact.
Medium-sized mosque achieved 12.42% reduction in annual energy use with specific interventions.
Smaller mosques improved energy efficiency by 11.68% through natural ventilation and shading.
Larger mosques benefited from insulation and reflective treatments, reducing energy consumption by 8.21%.
