Abstract

Based on the last update of the International Energy Agency (IEA) in October 2022, the building 
sector is responsible of approximately 34% of total global energy usage. The concept of buildingintegrated system design aims to find solutions for the exaggeration in energy consumption by 
controlling and reducing the unnecessary use. Thus, this research presents a comprehensive 
technical review of building integrated systems concerning building envelopes, structure and smart 
services and their role in minimizing building energy consumption.
