TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN BANGLADESH-THE PERSPECTIVE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

Energy conservation is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energy used. Energy conservation may result in increase of financial capital, national security, personal security, and human comfort and also to increase environmental value. Use of fossil fuels contributes to air and water pollution and also global warming of the earth. This is why the human settlement pattern that supports contemporary civilization must become the focus of every energy consumption and energy conservation discussion. Because of the limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources on world, it is important to conserve our current supply or to use renewable sources so that our natural resources will be available for future generations. Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh is one of the most electricity deprived cities in the world. Despite large potential for renewable energy sources in Bangladesh, currently their contribution to the electricity supply remains insignificant. The aim of the research is searching for alternate technology such as use of solar energy to preserve the limited resources of Bangladesh. The research select some case study was done in suburban areas of Bangladesh. Result shows that the Bangladesh, has very limited natural resources, application of renewable energy should become one of the pioneers in the energy regeneration especially for rural. Architects have a bright prospect to become the leaders in this journey towards saving the world from energy exhaustion.
