Energy Wasting Library

Energy waste in libraries poses significant challenges, including financial constraints and inadequate services. Old and new libraries alike face the dilemma of high energy costs impacting their ability to curate collections and serve the community effectively. This project explores the problems associated with energy consumption, such as inefficient lighting and HVAC systems. By implementing solutions like roof window lighting, libraries can reduce energy usage, save costs, and improve services. The transition to energy-efficient designs is essential for meeting modern demands and ensuring long-term sustainability.
