One thing I've found super helpful is investing in good insulation for walls and roofs. It helps keep the heat in during winter and out during summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Also, using energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting can make a big difference in energy consumption and save money in the long run. Finally, incorporating passive solar design elements like large south-facing windows can help naturally heat the building during the day. Just some thoughts to share!Comment

Designing energy-efficient buildings β the superhero version of architecture! To save both energy and your hard-earned cash, consider embracing passive solar design. Let the sun be your ally β strategically place windows to harness natural light and warmth. Insulate like your comfort depends on it (spoiler: it does). Opt for energy-efficient appliances and lighting. Harness the power of nature with green roofs or solar panels. And my personal favorite β embrace the greenery! Landscaping isn't just for looks; it's Mother Nature's thermostat. Design your building to be the ultimate eco-warrior, and you'll be saving energy and money like a boss! πͺππ‘Comment
