Abstract

The goal of this article is to provide an overview of energy-efficient materials and building methods. Energy saving is an essential consideration in building construction. It is possible to increase interior comfort while lowering fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by designing an energy-efficient building. The energy-efficient building is meant to provide a comfortable environment by ensuring that the temperature is evenly distributed throughout the structure. The approach that was chosen for the research consisted of conducting a systematic literature review, as well as exploring various literatures based on keywords and classifying different methodologies. This research analyses the most recent developments in natural waste, industrial waste, and building approaches to assure thermal comfort and improve energy efficiency. Building design should be developed in accordance with environmental considerations as a primary objective of this review. This study investigates the use of different materials and construction processes, as well as the orientation of buildings, in order to preserve thermal comfort under varying circumstances of temperature, ventilation, and humidity. It also involves the use of different materials and construction methods/building orientations to improve thermal comfort.
