Buildings consume energy at different levels at every stage of life cycle. Approximately half of all nonrenewable resources (water, energy, and raw materials) the mankind consumes are used in construction. Modern human civilization depends on buildings and what they contain for its continued existence, and yet our planet cannot support the current level of resource consumption associated with them. This subject is relevant especially in the context of solving the issues of designing residential buildings, in particular on the basis of thermal design, which this article reveals in detail. The article describes methods of energy-efficient design of buildings. This paper justifies how energy-efficient principles and methods of building design can be incorporated into the proposed construction design and the benefits that can be used in building design.
