Environmentally-friendly (‘green’) architecture and design

Typically one third of the energy used in many buildings may be consumed by electric lighting.

Passive and active solar strategies together with the adoption of energy conservation measures and the integration of new materials and technologies can lead to a dramatic reduction of 75-90 per cent in the energy consumption of the buildings.
