Assessment of attributes: Overall Contribution in energy consumption of a Neighborhood

Abstract

The built environment counts most of the world’s primary energy which states approximately 40%, energy is being used for different provisions such as for ventilation, lighting cooling and heating. Renewable energy can be a promising feature for reducing the use of primary energy at large scale with latest efficient techniques. There are various factors involved which are influencing energy consumption. Paper focuses on how to find out various attributes which contributes in overall consumption of energy at neighborhood level. This paper includes number of variables of the built environment. The significance of this investigation is identified with the reality of the energy utilization at neighborhood scale with the help of identification of various tools and GIS mapping for the neighborhoods. The result will aim the focus where policies should be framed to reduce the energy level by finding out the relationship between the variables or independent variables.
