Energy simulations are extensively employed by researchers and designers to assess
strategies aimed at enhancing the thermal performance or energy efficiency of buildings …

Cooling load refers to the amount of energy to be removed from a space (or consumed) to
bring that space to an acceptable temperature or to maintain the temperature of a space at …

The thermal performance and energy efficiency of buildings are critical factors in achieving
sustainable energy systems as energy needs for heating and cooling are expected to …

This research focuses on schools due to their significant energy consumption. It explores the
use of well-designed unshaded courtyards as a passive design strategy in hot climate …

Residential buildings in South Korea have equipped an energy recovery ventilation (ERV)
system to improve energy efficiency as well as dilute indoor air pollution. While most studies …

The inadequacy of highly glazed facade office buildings has been debatable for decades
due to their impact on the internal environment comfort and energy consumption. One of the …

Nearly and net zero energy buildings have been strongly studied in the global north, with
generally a temperate climate, thus focusing on energy-efficiency measures for such …

Background: Although many works focus on increasing the energy efficiency of buildings,
there are still a number of problems that need to be solved, such as reducing heat losses at …

The objective of this study was to explain and quantify the effect of blinds on the heat transfer
paths causing thermal decay and the resulting effects on diffuser discharge temperatures …

The envelope (façade) of a building is the part that forms the primary barrier to its
environment. Most of the new and modern office buildings have a glazed envelope and are …
