Global warming is the observed increase in
the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and
oceans in recent decades. Scientists have concluded that
human activities are contributing to global warming by
adding large amounts of hear-trapping gases to the
atmosphere. Using a case study like Nigeria with a
population of about 140 million, the main contribution
in this research is focused on a financial and ecological
energy efficient home design model by considering how
the energy saved from ~sing EEH as a tool for DSM can
reduce CO emission. A cost benefit analysis was
2
performed and the system was found to be an efficient
method of promoting the use of energy saving devices,
managing load demand, efficiently utilizing available
energy, environmental protection and creation of
reserve (savings). Averagely implementing EERHM will
result in a national global warming reduction to the
tune of 393.3 X 109 Kg of C02• The technology is
recommended to governments and other agencies as
part of reducing Co2 and of global warming
