This research paper investigates the effectiveness of green building design strategies in minimizing energy consumptionin commercial buildings in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, India. With a rapidly urbanizing and densely populatedenvironment, Mumbai presents a unique setting for assessing green building practices. The research objectives focuson understanding the impact of various green building design features, such as green roofs, solar panels, and floor areaoptimization, on energy efficiency in commercial structures.The research employs a robust methodology, incorporating regression analysis to analyze data obtained from theMumbai Municipal Corporations building energy consumption records. Through this analysis, the study investigatesthe relationships between green building design parameters, building characteristics, and energy consumptionpatterns.Key findings indicate that specific green building features, including intensive and biodiverse green roofs and solarpanel installations, significantly reduce energy consumption. Additionally, older buildings tend to exhibit lower energyconsumption, emphasizing the need for retrofitting existing structures with energy-efficient solutions. The study alsounderscores the role of occupant density in influencing energy efficiency, with higher occupant rates leading to moreefficient space utilization and energy use.The implications of this research are far-reaching, offering insights into tailoring green building strategies to the specificchallenges posed by densely populated urban areas. These findings hold significance for sustainable urbandevelopment, policy formulation, architectural design, and the global effort to mitigate climate change.
