Leveraging Adaptive Building Forms to Enhance Operational Efficiency in Selected Four-Star Hotels in Lagos, Nigeria
August 05, 2025 Source: Afropolitan Journals Date Published: 08.05.2025 Adaptive building forms, such as courtyard and atrium layouts, can reduce energy demand, improve ventilation, and lower operational costs in four-star hotels in Lagos, Nigeria. By demonstrating that climate-responsive design directly enhances efficiency and sustainability, this study highlights how adaptive architecture can serve as a pathway toward Net Zero Cities, where buildings play a central role in cutting emissions and resource use. Ultimately, it positions building not just as an architectural choice but as a critical strategy for advancing urban resilience and environmental performance.
