Based on a survey of UK architectural design practices, this paper examines the potential impact of energy conservation policies and legislation on building design; looks at energy conservation practices in the building industry; and highlights associated barriers to an integrated low energy architectural design process. Reveals that building design is affected by existing legislation, but often not by policy, and there are not many incentives for the industry to implement the low energy design strategies that are recommended.
