The paper explores how integrating alternative fuels and renewable energy technologies—like solar, wind, and geothermal—into the UK’s sustainable design can promote sustainable design in the UK and address environmental issues of present days. The study combines quantitative analysis of energy use with qualitative case studies of existing sustainable buildings to assess the effectiveness of these technologies. The findings show that properly implemented renewable systems and sustainable green building design can considerably reduce carbon emissions and energy costs, with some homes reducing energy consumption by up to 40%. The study highlights two passive strategies, thermal mass and natural ventilation, particularly effective for improving energy efficiency. On a broader scale, incorporating renewable energy in architectural design supports environmental sustainability, social recognition, and economic benefits. The authors recommend policy measures to promote renewable technology use in new construction and suggest that collaboration among policymakers, engineers, and architects is essential to advancing sustainable architecture in the UK, paving the way for a more resilient and eco-friendlier built environment.
