Abstract

For decades, the world has faced many risks and crises as a result of increased energy consumption rates, which have caused major economic problems. In light of this crisis, countries are seeking to adopt a strategy aimed at moving to a so-called green economy in response to these commitments, one that reduces environmental risks and the scarcity of ecological resources, reduces carbon emissions and increases resource efficiency. Global studies have shown that the buildings sector, especially residential buildings, has the largest share of energy consumption at 44.2% of total consumption. Hence the idea of a surplus home, which is a sustainable residential building capable of self-generating energy, has emerged as the energy generated from it is inexhaustible due to its continued regeneration, and it is a clean, carbon-free, and environmentally friendly energy that meets the standards of the green economy. Hence, the research aims to reach the internal design standards of surplus homes energy and their impact on the green economy The study follows the analytical descriptive approach by studying the design foundations of surplus homes and analyzing some models in different countries of the world, as well as the concept of a green economy and its relationship to energy consumption in residential buildings, This paper found that the internal design criteria for surplus homes could be used to promote the concept of a green economy in line with Egypt's strategic plan in the energy sector and the economy. The research recommends the need to raise awareness among in-house designers of the importance of adopting ideas aimed at reducing energy consumption in residential buildings and developing a strategy to take advantage of surplus energy to achieve green economy objectives.
