Impact of Passive Energy Efficiency Measures on Cooling Energy Demand in an Architectural Campus Building in Karachi, Pakistan

Electric appliances for cooling and lighting are responsible most of the increase in electricity consumption Karachi, Pakistan. This study aims to investigate impact passive energy efficiency measures (PEEMs) on potential reduction indoor temperature demand an architectural campus building (ACB) PEEMs focus envelope’s design construction, which is a key factor influence building’s demand. The existing was modeled using information modeling (BIM) software Autodesk Revit. Data related cooling, masses, occupancy conditions, utility bills, use intensity, as well space types, were collected analyzed develop virtual ACB model. bill data used calibrate DesignBuilder EnergyPlus base case models ACB. compared with different alternative envelope compositions applied renovation exemplary Finally, potentials savings determined. quantification facilitates definition benchmarks specific technologies.
