Abstract
Globally, buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of the total world annual energy consumption. Most of this
energy is for the provision of lighting, heating, cooling, and air conditioning. Increasing awareness of the
environmental impact of CO2, NOx and CFCs emissions triggered a renewed interest in environmentally friendly
cooling, and heating technologies. Under the 1997 Montreal Protocol, governments agreed to phase out chemicals
used as refrigerants that have the potential to destroy stratospheric ozone. It was therefore considered desirable to
reduce energy consumption and decrease the rate of depletion of world energy reserves and pollution of the
environment. This article discusses a comprehensive review of energy sources, environment and sustainable
development. This includes all the renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency systems, energy conservation
scenarios, energy savings and other mitigation measures necessary to reduce climate change.
