Sustainable Development Through Effectual Lighting Design and Solar Energy Conservation

Development of green building has a crucial role to play to reduce the energy consumption and make efficient use of materials and energy across the globe. The advances in sustainable development benefit society, environment, and economy by conserving and restoring energy sources. In the present work, to reinforce the green building concept at the university level, the efforts are put behind the lighting scheme and solar energy conservation. In order to design an efficient lighting scheme, a scientific approach has been employed to increase visual and operative value. Harnessing solar energy on the other side, is also addressed with a view to reducing the consumption of conventional electrical energy. It focuses on the optimum design of the solar photovoltaic system for running electrical appliances. Particularly, the attention has also been paid to the technical specifications of the battery bank. At the later stage of the work, an illumination and an energy audit have been conducted for the proposed designs in terms of energy conservation, design, and implementation, cost-effective solutions, and savings in carbon emissions.
