DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF GREEN BUILDING SYSTEMS UTILIZING RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR ACHIEVING LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT

Abstract

This study investigates the design and optimization of green building systems utilizing renewable energy technologies to achieve a low carbon footprint. Through a combination of case study analysis, energy simulations, and optimization algorithms, the research evaluates the performance of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal systems in enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability. The results indicate significant energy savings and carbon reductions in buildings incorporating renewable energy systems, with up to 40% energy savings and 50 tons of carbon reduction annually. Moreover, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of optimizing building systems, such as insulation and HVAC technologies, in maximizing energy efficiency. The integration of multiple renewable energy sources, including PV solar and wind turbines, provided higher efficiency improvements and faster payback periods compared to single systems. When combined systems function together they deliver substantial financial advantages which shorten payback periods and generate increased yearly savings based on complete cost-benefit assessments.  The research delivers essential information to construction companies because it demonstrates both financial returns and environmental advantages of green construction methods.  The research increases  the ongoing investigation of sustainable design through its presentation of renewable power systems as environment-friendly building solutions.  Researchers should analyse implementation obstacles while targeting improved energy system designs and conducting nationwide building type and climatic analyses.
