Welcome to the lesson on saving energy in construction. Energy consumption is a major factor in the environmental footprint of the construction industry, from the energy used in building processes to the operational energy demands of completed structures. Reducing energy usage throughout the construction lifecycle is essential for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, cutting costs, and achieving sustainability goals.

In this lesson, we will examine strategies for energy conservation in construction, including the use of energy-efficient machinery, sustainable building designs, and renewable energy sources. You’ll also learn about energy-saving technologies like smart building systems, insulation materials, and passive design principles that reduce energy demand.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll gain insights into how construction can minimize energy consumption, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to a more sustainable built environment. Let’s explore how to build with energy efficiency in mind!
