The concept of Design-Build-Operate Energy Information Modeling (DBO-EIM) is proposed. The DBO-EIM aims at creating a detailed and persistent energy model that can be used to reduce energy consumption and improveoccupant comfort throughout the life-cycle of a building. Within the framework, the model is builtto supportdecision makingin the design phase, validated and tuned during construction a...

Several studies have addressed the impact of buildings on energy demand and consumption in recent years. Urban areas are set to become greater energy consumers and the residential building stock has a great deal. Energy efficiency regulations in buildings are recent, and most of the housing stock is far from meeting present standard and is responsible of a high percentage of global energy consu...

Social housing represents a part of the whole building stock with high risk energy poverty, and it should be treated as priority in renovation strategies, due to its potential for improvement need fight that risk. Renovation actions are currently designed based on patterns have been shown disparate from reality social housing. Thereby, monitoring study is essential evaluation actual conditions....

Green buildings (GBs) employ a wide range of passive and active energy-saving strategies to improve buildings’ energy performance. The suitability performance some these depend on outdoor climate conditions may change over time due global warming. Therefore, GB not retain its in the future. To address this issue explore how much be affected by change, research aims (1) evaluate thermal comfort ...

Calibration of the energy model a building is one essential tasks required to determine efficiency management systems, and both their own other systems’ improvement potential. In order make as accurate possible, it necessary collect comprehensive data on its operation sometimes assess missing information. This paper represents process developing an for administrative calibration procedure, usin...

The aim of this research is to develop an architectural style commensurate with the requirements residential buildings in hot and dry climate Najran. courtyard concept one most important passive design strategies tune desert climate. also meets sociocultural region. success strategy can be verified by selecting a typical unit (villa) assessing its indoor environmental conditions energy performa...

Abstract This research investigated the reuse potential of pomegranate peels waste (PPW) in production fired clay bricks with improved thermo-physical and mechanical properties. PPW was used as a substitute for natural different replacement ratios ranging from 0 to 12.5% stride 2.5 wt%. The impact adding on compressive strength, total porosity, water absorption, bulk density, thermal conductivi...

Abstract Malaysia is a nation that has undergone massive development based on its abundance of fuel supply. The imbalance ratio between gross domestic products and energy demand clearly indicates the need to promote energy-efficiency strategies in country. This study investigates relationship building shape consumption by considering control excessive solar radiation tropical climate. In first ...

This article deals with the determination of impact selected parameters on energy consumption for heating and cooling purposes CO2 emissions. Mathematical modelling combined planning a computational experiment was adopted as research method. The database creating models developed using building simulations performed DesignBuilder software. A single-family house an area 101 m2 subject this study...

Earth-to-air heat exchangers (EAHEs) are widely used to reduce the indoor temperature and associated cooling energy demand of buildings. This study investigated potential reduction in temperatures via energy-efficient ventilation through EAHEs an existing architectural campus building (ACB) with renovated envelope hot humid climate Karachi, Pakistan. The information modeling (BIM) program Autod...
