T
he rapid growth during the last decade has been
accompanied by active construction, which in some
instances neglected the impact on the environment and
human activities. Policies to promote the rational use of electric
energy and to preserve natural non-renewable resources
are of paramount importance. Low energy design of urban
environment and buildings in densely populated areas requires
consideration of wide range of factors, including urban setting,
transport planning, energy system design and architectural
and engineering details. The focus of the world’s attention on
environmental issues in recent years has stimulated response
in many countries, which have led to a closer examination of
energy conservation strategies for conventional fossil fuels.
One way of reducing building energy consumption is to design
buildings, which are more economical in their use of energy
for heating, lighting, cooling, ventilation and hot water supply.
However, exploitation of renewable energy in buildings and
agricultural greenhouses can, also, significantly contribute
towards reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This will also
contribute to the amelioration of environmental conditions
by replacing conventional fuels with renewable energies that
produce no air pollution or greenhouse gases. This study
describes various designs of low energy buildings. It also,
outlines the effect of dense urban building nature on energy
consumption, and its contribution to climate change. Measures,
