- Abstract
The role of residential sector is extensive with respect to overall energy consumption by construction industry. A house in composite climate of Lahore (Pakistan) needs intensive cooling in summers; as well as energy resources for ventilation to reduce humidity during monsoon and comfortable indoor temperature during winters. The objective of this research is to suggest means through which the comfort conditions of occupants in a house are fulfilled with a reduced load on mechanical resources. Recent trends in construction and design of residential buildings in Pakistan symbolize uncontrolled use of energy resources. There is no data available with planning and developing authorities of housing sector that shows an account of energy loads of built houses as having standards or codes. In this research the potential of energy conservation was therefore analyzed through smart sampling of various sizes of houses in a contemporary housing scheme in Lahore. A simulation-based study is used to establish potential conservation of energy resources consumed by houses as built with a projection to overall reduction in energy consumption by residential sector in Lahore; thereby showing a decrease in carbon emissions and achieving sustainability as well as environment friendly architecture.
