“…A dual-function solar collector integrated with buildings was proposed, and it could work as a passive space heating collector in cold sunny days [7]. In 1990s, Yakubu presented an user-experience survey about living in passive solar homes [8]; Maurer et al introduced transparent facade collectors that are able to provide solar heating and cooling, and incur more primary energy saving than opaque wall as well [9]. Although these systems have promoted the development of the application of solar space heating, solar air collectors that serve as passive heating equipment in the rural areas with ample sunshine may become inefficient or even infeasible under poor weather condition if thermal storage is not available.…”

“…This is a form of solar energy harvesting technology in which heated air is transported through a horizontally placed absorber tubes integrated into glazing unit system, installed on a building facade (Alva, Vlachokostas and Madamopoulos, 2020;Maurer et al, 2012). Different configurations of evacuated tube solar collectors inclusive of U-type, H-type, T-type, heat pipe type, etc., exist (Ataee & Ameri, 2015;Nkwetta, & Smyth, 2012).…”

Natural resources are increasingly under pressures to cater for the growing human population and their corresponding, often conflicting needs. However, the need to conservatively utilize these resources without deteriorating the environment to the disadvantage of the future generations has prompted some actionable steps at the global level, the prominent of which is the promulgation of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 2030 (SDG-2030) Agenda, having seventeen (17) inter-related actionable areas of human endeavours (i.e., Agenda). Of particular interest within this context is the Agenda Thirteen (Agenda-13) which encompasses the need for urgent action to combat Climate Change and its impacts across various areas of human engagements. This is necessary as Climate Change impacts are characterized with anthropogenic carbon emissions resulting in global temperature rise, sea level rise, flooding, desertification, droughts, and other related disasters. Within the precinct of Built Environment, it is established that building construction and operation alone account for about 40% of the global emissions. This calls for concerns and requires urgent collaborative actions to curtail the trend. This submission, which is review based therefore, highlights various joint efforts particularly, integration of technological advancements by the relevant building professionals, towards attaining the goal of Agenda-13. This is with a view to limiting climate change enablers for reduced environmental impacts. These collaborative efforts are categorized into pre-construction and post-construction activities from the relevant professionals in the built environment. While the former includes Indoor Thermal Comfort Simulation, Integration of Daylighting Technologies, and adoption of Computational Fluid Dynamics integrated architectural design process, the latter consists of design of Double Skin Facades, development of Building Integrated Photovoltaics façade, integration of Evacuated Tube Solar Air Collector System, adoption of Phase Change Material on Building façade, and implementation of Life Cycle Energy Analysis Policy, among others. These endeavours aim at reducing carbon emissions at the building micro level for overall clean, safe and sustainable global environment.

“…Based on the simulations, it would be possible to carry out a real high-rise building project. Apart from this case study, a demonstration installation of transparent façade collectors was planned [23], built and monitored [24]. The building process is analysed here according to the process map of [25].…”
