Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The construction industry plays a significant role in global energy consumption and environmental impact, making the integration of sustainable design strategies crucial for high-rise residential buildings. This thesis explores various sustainable design strategies that can be implemented to enhance the energy efficiency, environmental performance, and overall sustainability of high-rise residential buildings. The research methodology involved a comprehensive literature review to identify existing sustainable design practices and their effectiveness in high-rise residential buildings. Additionally, case studies and interviews with industry experts were conducted to gather insights and perspectives on sustainable design strategies. The findings of this research revealed a range of sustainable design strategies that can be applied to high-rise residential buildings, including passive design principles, green building materials, energy-efficient systems, water conservation measures, waste management practices, and renewable energy integration. The analysis of these strategies highlighted their potential benefits in reducing energy consumption, minimizing environmental impact, improving indoor environmental quality, and enhancing overall occupant comfort and well-being. Furthermore, the research methodology involved the development of a sustainability assessment framework to evaluate the effectiveness of sustainable design strategies in high-rise residential buildings. This framework considered various criteria such as energy efficiency, environmental impact, cost-effectiveness, and occupant satisfaction to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the sustainability performance of different design strategies. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of integrating sustainable design strategies in high-rise residential buildings to achieve long-term environmental, social, and economic benefits. The findings provide valuable insights for architects, engineers, developers, and policymakers to make informed decisions in the design and construction of sustainable high-rise residential buildings. The implications of this research contribute to advancing the field of sustainable architecture and promoting the adoption of sustainable design practices in the built environment. In conclusion, this thesis emphasizes the significance of exploring sustainable design strategies for high-rise residential buildings to address the challenges of urbanization, resource depletion, and climate change. By implementing sustainable design principles, high-rise residential buildings can mitigate their environmental impact, enhance their resilience to climate change, and create healthier and more sustainable living environments for occupants. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on sustainable architecture and provides a foundation for further research and practical implementation of sustainable design strategies in high-rise residential buildings.
