Abstract:
This research paper investigates the effectiveness of green building design strategies in minimizing energy consumption in commercial buildings in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, India. With a rapidly urbanizing and densely populated environment, Mumbai presents a unique setting for assessing green building practices. The research objectives focus on understanding the impact of various green building design features, such as green roofs, solar panels, and floor area optimization, on energy efficiency in commercial structures.
The research employs a robust methodology, incorporating regression analysis to analyze data obtained from the Mumbai Municipal Corporation's building energy consumption records. Through this analysis, the study investigates the relationships between green building design parameters, building characteristics, and energy consumption patterns.
Key findings indicate that specific green building features, including intensive and biodiverse green roofs and solar panel installations, significantly reduce energy consumption. Additionally, older buildings tend to exhibit lower energy consumption, emphasizing the need for retrofitting existing structures with energy-efficient solutions. The study also underscores the role of occupant density in influencing energy efficiency, with higher occupant rates leading to more efficient space utilization and energy use.
The implications of this research are far-reaching, offering insights into tailoring green building strategies to the specific challenges posed by densely populated urban areas. These findings hold significance for sustainable urban development, policy formulation, architectural design, and the global effort to mitigate climate change.
