Abstract: \nThere has been an increasing number of pressures on the construction sector, one of the cornerstones of economic development in emerging countries, to adopt sustainable practices in order to remain competitive. As the need for cost reduction in thermal energy storage (TES) technology grows, energy efficiency becomes increasingly important. Two methods of insulating TES systems are assessed: powders that are evacuated and materials that are placed to the outer of the storage. The goal of this research is to improve building energy efficiency via the development of novel construction materials and techniques. There is a growing trend to replace traditional glass with transparent wood because its optical transparency and thermal insulation qualities are superior to those of glass. Moreover, developments in protective materials, such as rice straw-based thermal insulation and nanomaterials-based solutions, could help to reduce the amount of energy used by reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Energy efficiency can also be enhanced through novel approaches such as 3D printing of nanocomposites and thermal energy storage systems. Sustainable building practices are essential to addressing global energy challenges since they provide economic and environmental benefits.\n
