Hindrances to the Utilization of Climate Responsive Architecture Principles for Residential Design in Northeast Nigeria[ ]


Thermal comfort plays a major role in the perception of the interior environment, and it must be achieved in order to maintain occupant health as well as ensure productive living. Increasing temperatures in Northeast Nigeria as a result of the effects of climate change makes the achievement of thermal comfort more important and similarly, more challenging. With the domestic building sector consuming 55% to 60% of Nigeria’s energy between 1996 and 2005, Climate Responsive Architecture provides a twofold solution as it allows a building to achieve thermal comfort by utilizing minimal energy and consequently, can contribute to the slowing of climate change effects through significantly reduced energy emissions.
