Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the design and implementation of sustainable high-rise residential buildings in urban environments. With the increasing population density in urban areas and the pressing need for sustainable development, designing high-rise residential buildings that are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient has become a critical concern. The research aims to investigate the various aspects of sustainable design in high-rise buildings, including energy efficiency, material selection, water conservation, and indoor environmental quality. The study begins with an in-depth review of the existing literature on sustainable design principles and practices in high-rise residential buildings. This literature review covers ten key topics, including green building certifications, passive design strategies, renewable energy sources, and sustainable building materials. By analyzing and synthesizing the findings from previous research, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of sustainable design in high-rise residential buildings. In the research methodology chapter, the study outlines the research approach, data collection methods, and analysis techniques used to investigate sustainable design practices in high-rise residential buildings. The methodology includes eight key components, such as case studies, interviews with industry experts, energy modeling, and life cycle assessment. Through these methods, the study aims to gather empirical data and insights to inform the design of sustainable high-rise residential buildings. The discussion of findings chapter presents a detailed examination of the research results, highlighting the key findings related to sustainable design practices in high-rise residential buildings. The chapter explores various aspects of sustainable design, including energy-efficient building systems, sustainable material selection, water-saving technologies, and indoor air quality management. The findings provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of designing sustainable high-rise residential buildings in urban environments. Finally, the conclusion and summary chapter offer a comprehensive overview of the research findings, discussing the implications for practice and future research directions. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of sustainable design in high-rise residential buildings and proposing recommendations for architects, developers, policymakers, and other stakeholders involved in urban development. By promoting sustainable practices in high-rise residential buildings, the research contributes to the advancement of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient urban living environments.
