Low rise buildings are often smaller in scale than high rise buildings and are typically more energy efficient due to their smaller size and lower height.

They can be used for residential, commercial, or mixed purposes and can be found in both urban and suburban settings. These buildings tend to be smaller and more energy-efficient compared to high rise buildings due to their reduced size and lower height.
