Effect of Modern Technologies of Energy Conservation on Forming High–Rise Buildings
Journal Title: Journal of Sustainability for Energy - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
High-rise edifices are emblematic of contemporary construction, encapsulating advancements in environmental, formal, and structural design approaches. Such structures, often considered to consume substantial amounts of energy, primarily due to air conditioning and lighting, epitomise urban progression in developed regions. Concerns over energy and resource consumption have necessitated the exploration of viable alternatives for mitigating energy usage. In response, architectural endeavours have gravitated towards harnessing modern technologies to curtail energy demands, especially in high-rise constructions. Several architectural trends have subsequently emerged, each leveraging a myriad of techniques with the intent to diminish energy usage. This research, therefore, sought to elucidate the technologies deployed in energy conservation for high-rise buildings and subsequently discern their ramifications on architectural formulation. Adopting a qualitative-descriptive approach, an analytical examination was conducted on fifteen distinct cases of energy-efficient structures, aiming to gauge the influence of such technologies. Data, procured from visual and descriptive evaluations, were systematised using an observation sheet. It has been observed that certain environmentally-focused design methodologies may inadvertently compromise the architectural aesthetics of high-rise structures. Consequently, there emerges a pressing need for architects to harmonise aesthetic aspirations with contemporary energy-saving imperatives, ensuring judicious use of natural resources.
