ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF ARCHITECTURAL STUDIOS IN SELECTED TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN LAGOS MEGA-CITY, NIGERIA
Keywords:
Architectural studio, Energy efficiency, Indoor environmental quality, Lagos Mega-City and Tertiary InstitutionAbstract
The core developmental value system of the 21st century is sustainability, which has been approached from multiple perspectives, including energy efficiency. Indoor environmental quality, comfort and sustainability in indoor spaces are key factors to be considered. This study aims to evaluate the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) as a design parameter for measuring energy efficiency, the Impact of Energy efficiency on the IEQ of Architectural studios as well as the relationship between indoor environmental quality as a design parameter for measuring energy efficiency and impact of energy efficiency on IEQ of Architectural Studios in selected tertiary institutions in Lagos Mega City. The key objectives were to assess indoor environmental quality as a design parameter for measuring energy efficiency, the Impact of Energy efficiency on IEQ of Architectural studios and examine the relationship between indoor environmental quality as a design parameter for measuring energy efficiency and the impact of energy efficiency on IEQ of Architectural Studios. A quantitative data collection method of the structured survey with both closed- and open-ended questions was designed, data were collected from 108 students in the selected tertiary institutions on the IEQ parameters and energy consumption of their architectural studios. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). 89 respondents agreed that energy efficiency impacts the architectural studios' indoor environmental quality, accounting for 82.4%. In comparison, the remaining 19 respondents (7.6%) disagreed on the energy efficiency impact on the architectural studios. Also, a positive relationship exists between IEQ as a design parameter for energy efficiency and the effect of energy efficiency on the IEQ of architectural studios. Therefore, the study recommends that architectural studios be designed to maximise energy efficiency principles.
