dc.descriptionThis study investigates green design strategies in Nigerian museums to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact while preserving cultural heritage. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research employed interviews and case studies, focusing on three Abuja museums: Discovery Museum, Nike Art Gallery, and Retro Africa Gallery. Purposive sampling selected the three museums, while snowball sampling facilitated the selection of the 8 architects which were interviewed. The case studies were evaluated using LEED and EDGE guidelines. Findings revealed partial implementation of sustainable practices, with effective passive design strategies like cross ventilation and vegetation, yet limited integration of renewable energy and advanced water management systems. Six case studies, including three international museums, were assessed using LEED and EDGE guidelines. Results highlighted both achievements and gaps, particularly in renewable energy and water conservation techniques. The study recommends enhanced renewable energy integration, advanced water management systems, education and training for professionals, policy support and incentives, collaboration for knowledge sharing, and regular assessments and upgrades. These measures aim to foster sustainability in Nigerian museums, serving as models for environmental conservation while enhancing user experience and preserving cultural heritage. The study's implications extend beyond architectural practice, as sustainable museums can serve as models for environmental conservation and cultural stewardship in Nigeria and beyond. By enhancing user experience and preserving cultural heritage, these initiatives contribute to broader societal and sustainable development goals.
