ABSTRACT Climate change is having a tremendous effect on our fragile ecosystem where the acceleration of its effect is believed to have occurred as a result of human activities that release Greenhouse Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. In the built environment also, energy necessity of buildings has seen an increase over the past years, predominantly is the energy demand for cooling, ventilating, and lighting. The built environment has been identified as one of the major contributors to the imm...

ABSTRACT
Mixed-use buildings are characterized by their live-work-play concept ensuring that most activities are achieved within a particular site. Despite their numerous benefits, they experience a wide range of problems including high energy consumption, it is therefore vital that energy conservation measures are employed in such buildings. This study investigated the integration of energy conservation measures in mixed-use building design in Akure, Ondo state. Data was collected...

ABSTRACT
Buildings account for a large amount of land use, energy and water consumption, air and atmosphere alteration. Considering the statistics and the impact of the built environment on human health as well as the natural environment, reducing the number of natural resources consumed by the buildings industry and the amount of pollution given off is seen as critical to achieve a sustainable environment. Eco-friendly buildings are expected to reduce greenhouse gases, save the nat...

ABSTRACT
Traditionally, buildings were designed based on the pre conditions given by the surrounding environment, along with available natural resources to create comfortable and safe places. But nowadays, with the advent of mechanical method of heating and cooling, buildings have become less connected to their specific environment and more dependent on technical systems to comfort spaces, thereby consuming large amount of energy and harming the ecosystems of the environment through...

ABSTRACT
Biophilic architecture is based on the assertion that humans have an innate connection with nature that should be expressed in their daily lives, especially in cities. This, which has not been a strong feature of architectural principles (even though there has been a long tradition of landscape architecture), yet potentially offers great rewards if the assertion is true. However, earlier and more recent studies have revealed that individuals who dwell among the splendours a...

ABSTRACT
Buildings are manmade structures that are primarily meant for shelter. They are designed in different sizes, shapes, forms and functions. Some buildings have only one function and some have multiple functions such as residential and commercial purposes. These types of building are referred to as mixed-use building. One major problem encountered with these structures is the issue of insecurity which is as a result of poor design which makes them more prone to attacks by the...

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Paint Factory or plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers process raw materials into paint. Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the industrial revolution when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry and workshops. Paint is a subdivision of surface coating. It is a relatively opaque solid coating applied a...
