Abstract
Environmental sustainability seeks to reduce losses and harmful emissions that pose a danger to humans, so the direction is to manage emissions and aim to reduce the level of energy as an environmental dimension and reduce consumption rates as an economic dimension. The design process in administrative facilities needs a set of stages so that we can rationalize energy consumption, to face many obstacles that have appeared recently as a result of technology intervention, increased energy demand, and increased loads.
The research follows a set of strategies through which energy consumption is controlled, namely; First, economic efficiency, which is divided into a - structural cost, which is classified into energy forms and climate control determinants, B-operational cost, which is classified into the life cycle of the building, its energy consumption stages and material properties, and then glass technology to reduce loads in administrative spaces. Secondly, environmental efficiency, which is divided into a-autonomous solar design, B-Environmental Control Systems, the negative impact on the environment can be controlled by doing a good study of the requirements of administrative spaces to achieve various aspects of thermal comfort (ventilation, cooling and heating) as well as light comfort with its methods and lighting controls, in addition to the optimal utilization of solar energy and the use of autonomous systems to meet the needs of the building to save energy consumed.
There is a constant need to create administrative spaces that achieve the dimensions of sustainable development as a response to the deterioration and shortage of resources, as well as to face the pressures and climatic problems resulting from the carbon footprint of all kinds: latent emissions, total emissions, operational emissions, the designer seeks to use the available climatic and natural resources in order to achieve the convenience of users, and thus this building can be called a climate balanced.
