The great potential for reduction of CO2 emissions lies in the deep energy renovation buildings that exploits full improving efficiency to maximize savings and minimize costs. However, addition technical parameters, it is necessary analyze willingness client pay renovation. This paper presents a methodology applicable all types relatively short time provides an optimal solution meets both param...

The use of VRF system and insulation in building envelope are both considered as promising option to reduce energy consumption a building. This study analysis saving potential using modelling simulation typical office model is simulated with the weather Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan EnergyPlus software. cases include conventional air conditioning systems without evaluate compare annual cooling sav...

energy crisis, global warming and other environmental issues are what motivate researchers to find new strategies to reduce energy consumption in buildings. recently, using phase change materials (pcm) in the building’s envelopes has drawn significant attention as an energy-saving method, which helps in increasing the building’s thermal capacity. in the present research, the effects of the main...

Researchers have used building energy simulation tools such as EnergyPlus to evaluate and occupant thermal preference. is a powerful tool for modeling buildings, However, when controlling the indoor set temperature using EnergyPlus, it common assume that all occupants’ preference same. Therefore, difficult know dynamic personal preferences implement centric set-point control. In this study, we ...

This paper is concerned with the development of data-driven predictive models capable of forecasting commercial building heating loads based on BEM (Building Energy Management) systems recorded variables, as well as weather data. To address the lack of available complete datasets from actual commercial building BEM systems, a detailed representation of a reference building using EnergyPlus was ...

Planning energy-efficient buildings which produce on-site renewable energy in an urban context is a challenge for all involved actors in the planning process. The primary objective of this study was to develop a façade assessment and design tool for solar energy (FASSADES) providing the necessary information for all stakeholders in the design process. The secondary objective was to demonstrate ...

Bio-inspiration is a growing research field in architecture and urban design where this framework being used to develop sustainable solutions strategies for improving the overall built environment. In buildings, façade most critical element which differentiates indoor environment from outdoor The related quantification of impact bio-inspired on limited. This research, therefore, aims evaluate t...
