This study examines the relationship between urbanisation, energy-efficient building design, and government guidelines within the Nigerian context. . West Africa is increasingly becoming more vulnerable to extreme heat due to climate change intensification with forecasts predicting hazardous heat days to double by 2060 affecting all societal classes and life sectors. The specific objectives are to investigate energy efficiency and sustainability in BEEC standard residential buildings in Abuja, examine the major barriers militating against development of energy efficiency. . Compliance to local energy efficiency strategies can significantly reduce energy consumption in buildings and promote sustainability. However, Nigeria Building Energy Efficiency Code (BEEC) seems to be just paper work without enforcement or compliance. Using empirical data from the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) in an existing building for instrument validation and simulation outputs from EnergyPlus. . The Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), has extended its energy efficiency campaign to the Federal Capital Territory, engaging major industrial stakeholders in Abuja. Passive design strategies. .
