Abstract

According to Addy et al. (2014) most of our time is spent in buildings i.e. either
in the office or at home where buildings actually consume up to 40% of the total global
energy. Therefore, energy efficient building is very important to reduce the total
energy used and greenhouse gas emissions to prevent climate change. However, the
disintegration of multi- participants in construction particularly in the design process
is the main barrier to limit the energy efficient building. Hence, whole system design
is one such approach that aims to integrate social, economic and environmental
phenomena into a comprehensive design solution. This approach encourages the
development of partnerships between all project stakeholders from a variety of
different backgrounds, disciplines and sectors to develop an energy efficient building
at a whole system level.
