Abstract
Global energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are considerably influenced by the beverage industrial sector. Energy-intensive processes including heating, cooling, and refrigeration are fundamental necessities during the manufacture of beverages in factories. It is therefore important that a beverage factory is designed to lessen its adverse effect on the climate. One of the ways to achieve this is through the use of passive design strategies. With improved indoor environment quality, passive design concept seeks to use less energy, operate more efficiently, and leave a smaller carbon impact. Healthy building designs are more important nowadays for improving sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility within the beverage manufacturing business as the globe pushes for a more sustainable environment. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine passive design strategies for achieving healthy and safe work environment with a view to apply lessons learnt in the design of a beverage factory in Ogun State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study include to: determine passive design strategies for achieving healthy and safe work environment; investigate how passive design strategies have been implemented in selected beverage factories; examine the extent to which workers are satisfied with passive design strategies adopted in selected beverage factories in Nigeria; and apply passive design strategies in the design of a beverage factory in Ogun State, Nigeria towards achieving healthy and safe work environment. The research is case study that adopted a mixed-method approach. This involved three selected beverage factories in Nigeria and three foreign case studies. Qualitative data were gathered from relevant literature and the case studies, and content analysed. Whereas, quantitative data were collected through a survey approach from two hundred and sixty-seven respondents in Nigeria. Statistical Product and Service Solutions software was used to analyse quantitative data. The results were presented with tables, figures, plates, architectural drawings, three-dimensional animation and a physical model. The study centred on natural ventilation and natural lighting found to be key passive design strategies for achieving healthy and safe work environment. The study contributes to the growth in the body of knowledge on sustainable design in industrial settings, offering useful ideas for a future where the production of beverages is more environmentally sensitive and effective, through the development of a passive design strategy-based architectural design proposal of a beverage industry in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study promotes Sustainable Development Goal three (Good Health and Well-being), Goal nine (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), Goal eleven (Sustainable Cities) and Communities, and Goal thirteen (Climate Action).
