Environmental Building Design 31.Introduction to incorporation of sustainable systems in residential projectsSustainability has become a very critical issue in today’s construction sector especially due tothe increasing global problem of climate change[ CITATION Odu16 \l 1033 ]. In this context, sustainability refers to use of high efficiency construction materials and processes and which are environmentally friendly throughout a building’s lifecycle. This means that sustainable buildingshave lower environmental impacts throughout their lifetime while providing the desired functionality and comfort level for occupants. Globally, buildings account for about 40% of primary energy[CITATION Gha13 \l 1033 ]. There are a wide range of sustainability features that arebeing integrated in buildings to improve their environmental performance. These features aim at reducing energy and water use in buildings without compromising their functional requirements and comfort of occupants[ CITATION Ahn13 \l 1033 ]. They are integrated into buildings to reduce their environmental impacts through their lifecycle, i.e. during design, construction, operation, maintenance and renovation.
