This set of ten technical notes outlines design strategies for energy-efficient buildings in East Africa, segmented by regional climate zones. It covers passive cooling, ventilation, shading, material selection, and solar integration. Additional notes offer curriculum guidance for architecture schools and municipal approval checklists. Case studies from Nairobi and Garissa illustrate localized climate responses. The series is a practical toolkit for planners, architects, and policy designers working on low-carbon urban development across diverse environmental contexts.
