Abstract
The design and construction of sustainable buildings have become paramount in the modern era, with a significant emphasis on energy efficiency and environmental impact reduction. One of the critical components influencing a building's sustainability is its Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. Integrating HVAC efficiency solutions during the architectural planning phase of new developments can lead to substantial energy savings, improved indoor air quality, and reduced carbon footprints. This paper explores the strategies for incorporating HVAC efficiency in sustainable building design, addressing the challenges and benefits associated with these solutions. Through a comprehensive examination of current technologies, design principles, and implementation practices, the study highlights the potential for innovative HVAC systems to contribute to the broader goals of sustainability in the built environment. The findings suggest that early-stage integration of HVAC considerations, combined with advancements in technology, can significantly enhance the sustainability of new developments.
