Innovative Techniques for Enhancing Building Energy Efficiency: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

This review paper provides a literature review on the state of the art, recent development of energy efficiency for smart building with findings published in the past five years. And it shows how growing Building Energy Efficiency (BEE) and decreasing energy usage innovative approaches and technologies are being used. Common methods for assessing and forecasting energy utilization are presented, and methods for adapting the internal configuration of a building to supply energy efficient performance are addressed. Particular emphasis is placed on the control of luminaires because their efficiency greatly determines energy consumption. The review looks at diverse energy conserving strategies such as the energy application forecasts, IoT facilities in smart buildings, innovations in light management systems and employing of quad code services informing occupants of energy consumption rates. Further, the emulation of various methods of retrofitting interior designs is also discussed with a focus on the aspect of energy efficiency.  This paper also discusses the effectiveness of applying these methods under different circumstances, given particularity of the building design or operation, and environmental contexts. Based on a synthesis of data from the latest studies, this review provides recommendations for implementing energy-efficient solutions following specific construction requirements. The result provides an addition on the existing knowledge regarding the implementation of sustainable building practices in conforming with worldwide energy standard. By so doing the paper highlights the importance of technological inventions and design techniques which contributes to the paper’s purpose of being a useful tool for researchers, architects, and policymakers in the provision of energy-efficient buildings in the future.
