dc.description.abstractThis study aimed at identifying passive design features through extensive literature study that can be incorporated in senate building to make it energy efficient. The study also aimed at identifying changes in the design process that can affect energy efficiency in senate buildings. It has analyzed the design features of typical senate buildings through a case study conducted in different Nigerian Universities. However, in this thesis an attempt shall be made to evolve design solution with proper consideration of the climate of the site. The climatic variables directly affecting energy usage and user’s comfort such as; temperature, humidity, solar radiation and air movement, are to be studied because these are the five constituents of climate that are more important for the purposes of building design. Within the context of tropical climate, in regards to this proposal, the climatic data of the study area are collected and analysed. The analysed data shall guide us on the selection of building materials, construction method, shape and orientation of building, size and location of fenestrations and the use of soft landscape elements. These are taken into cognisance by relevant case studies and literature review of building in various climatic regions across the globe with respect to adaptability and response to various environmental variables.en_US
