How can sustainable energy be used to enhance energy efficiency in buildings?

Using sustainable energy sources can help enhance energy efficiency in buildings in several ways:

• Installation of solar panels on rooftops can harness solar energy to generate electricity and reduce reliance on traditional power grids.
• Implementation of geothermal heating and cooling systems can help regulate indoor temperatures more efficiently and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
• Installation of energy-efficient windows and insulation can reduce heat loss or gain and reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling.
• Use of energy-efficient lighting and appliances can reduce electricity consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.

Green building practices, which prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency, can also help promote the use of sustainable energy sources in buildings. Examples of green building practices include using recycled building materials, designing buildings to optimize natural lighting and ventilation, and implementing water-saving fixtures and systems.
