ABSTRACT

The growing use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and related technology has led to the emergence of a more innovative workspaces. With changes in the manner in which people work, think and adopt the use of technology, new workspace models have arisen. As work continues to change, the organisational structures in which it is carried out is also changing. Accordingly, the energy requirement needed to run these hubs continues to reflect these changes amongst which is its contribution to the increasing level of atmospheric carbon emissions. The aim of this research is to integrate green strategies in the design of a tech innovation hub in Minna, Niger State. A descriptive research method was adopted for this study, both quantitative and qualitative data were obtained through reviewing of literature, the use of observation schedule, questionnaires, and interviews. A total of seven tech hubs were selected purposively, consisting of five local and two foreign case studies in order to compare and contrast what is obtainable locally and internationally. The questionnaires made up of open-end questions were administered to respondents within the local case studies. They comprised of professionals (architects and cost surveyors), facility managers (staff and janitors). The data collected was analysed using SPSS and the results were further presented in tables and charts. It was observed that 100% of the buildings rely on the use of non-renewable sources of power as an alternative to the national grid. Furthermore, that 100% of the buildings made use of vertical sun shading devices, while 50% of the buildings use horizontal sun shading devices. Green spaces outdoor were mostly courtyards 40%, by gardens 25% and covered porches 25%, however sit-outs had the lowest 10% of green spaces that were integrated in the design. The study concludes that across the five local case studies, there was a low-level of integration of green strategies in the buildings and the impact of these strategies do not reflect in the energy requirement of the tech innovation hubs. It is recommended that the government should enact policies that will encourage the adoption of green strategies in tech hubs in line with what is obtainable in developed countries. More also, the professionals within the built environment need to be sensitized on the benefits of adopting green strategies from design stage and construction stage to achieve rationalization of energy consumption in buildings
