Energy efficiency, the practice of accomplishing tasks with reduced energy consumption for the same outcomes, emerges as a key focus in this module, particularly in the context of building structures. Beginning with a comprehensive exploration of the nature of energy and its diverse forms within buildings, the discourse transitions into methods for optimizing energy efficiency within these structures. Emphasis is placed on the pivotal role of building energy simulation and the crucial features outlined in the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC). The module also illuminates strategies for enhancing energy efficiency in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and lighting, supported by illustrative examples. Additionally, the module underscores the significance of integrating renewable energy sources, implementing energy management systems, and the procedural insights into conducting an effective energy audit within building environments.

The module commences with the concept of an environmental footprint and its implications on the global environment due to generated waste. This waste management module provides valuable insights into the generation of waste in buildings, its treatment, and secure disposal. Initially, we examine the diverse types of waste and various treatment methodologies, including processes such as converting waste into energy and resource recovery. Given that the nature of generated waste varies depending on the building's purpose, our focus extends to waste management strategies tailored for healthcare facilities and mixed-use residential and commercial buildings. The comprehensive waste management approach encompasses the identification of waste types, segregation practices, in-house transportation systems, storage methods, treatment processes, reuse initiatives, and proper disposal methods.
