Environmental Sustainability in Building Design: A Detailed Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of ecological issues in residential property design and construction. It begins with site planning, including location analysis and erosion control methods. The report then delves into passive design strategies, emphasizing energy efficiency through ventilation and solar orientation. Thermal insulation and sustainable building practices are also discussed, followed by an examination of environmental sustainability regulations, including energy ratings and sound insulation. The report concludes with a summary of key findings and recommendations for sustainable building practices. The assignment covers the site location in the outskirts of Nairobi city. The report provides an overview of the site analysis, including soil type, drainage patterns, and vegetation. It then addresses erosion and sediment control measures. Question 2 addresses passive design and energy use, including ventilation, building design in warm climates, and solar orientation. The report concludes with a discussion of thermal insulation and environmental sustainability.
