Indigenous Technologies and Flexible Design for Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings: A Case Study Approach

Abstract

This paper explores the application and future development of indigenous technologies and flexible design in reducing energy consumption in residential buildings. The paper introduces the principles, applicability, and comparison of indigenous technologies and flexible design with modern technologies, and examines the sources and current status of energy consumption in residential buildings. The study details how indigenous technologies and flexible design can be combined and explores their application in residential buildings and how they can improve the energy efficiency, adaptability, and quality of life of residential buildings. Through case studies, the paper presents examples of residential buildings that have adopted indigenous technologies and flexible designs, exploring their effectiveness in terms of energy consumption and the impact on user experience and quality of life. Finally, the paper discusses the implications and direction of this approach for future buildings.
