Abstract The use of ever increasing amount of energy has freed man from drudgery and i considerably improved standards of living all over the world. The expectation is man’s demand for energy will increase even more rapidly in the coming years, : advances in science and technology have been occurring continually. It is therefore essential that energy conservation should be subject of vital nance to all engineers.( Kadambi & Prasad, 1976)’ Energy conservation management is therefore detained as the application of ss management and industrial organization methods to achieve the optima! use rgy resources. It is a relatively recent concept, which does not appear as such in xhnical or scientific literature before 1975.( Jacques, et al., 1988)2 Jacques Santer, the president of the European commission , in the 1995 ” work ime” presented on 15n February, stated that two of the Energy and lunent’s initiatives would be energy-saving programs and urban energy ag.t Pearsall, 1996)3 The point is that if it is to have a significant , long-term effect on energy use, vation cannot be viewed as ” something I’ll do when there is a shortage ”; •ration must be viewed as a systematic altering of the system to provide the ; goods and services but with less energy consumption. Altering the system will require a dedicated effort extended over many years, is required for development of a new energy source. But full development of vation has the potential over the long term of reducing our energy tion.(Nebel, 1981)4 Statement of The Problem : The necessity for the use of energy in buildings in many forms and the ; desirability of learning how to minimize the use of non-renewable forms of in meeting those essential needs is directed primarily towards ;j.Litter. & Thomas, 1984)5 of the characteristics of modern architecture is the use of large expanses in the building facades, irrespective of the climate of the place , |
