ABSTRACT

This paper explores the critical role of energy in shaping the future of sustainable development, with a particular focus on energy transition in the built environment. As global energy consumption continues to rise, the shift from traditional fossil fuels to renewable sources becomes increasingly important to mitigate environmental degradation. The paper investigates various renewable energy technologies, such as solar, wind, and hydrogen fuel cells, and their potential impact on reducing carbon emissions in urban settings. Additionally, the research highlights the importance of energy efficiency measures, such as energy-saving buildings and waste-to-energy technologies. Through case studies and data analysis, the paper provides insights into the current challenges and opportunities for achieving a sustainable energy transition. Ultimately, it emphasizes the need for comprehensive policy frameworks and international cooperation to ensure the widespread adoption of renewable energy solutions for the built environment.
