Simulation and Field-Based Study of Thermal Performance of a Building - A Case Study

Abstract Concerns about building thermal performance and energy consumption are fast growing as they account for roughly 40% of worldwide annual use. Building construction in Nepal is controlled by the National Codes (NBC), which focus solely on structural considerations ignore behaviour. As a result, housing tends to be too much warm cold during summer winter respectively due lack passive heating cooling mechanisms considered phase. The Thakle Integrated Settle (TIS), built Department Urban Development Construction (DUDBC) under Reconstruction Authority supported Oxfam Nepal, was subject this research. building’s chosen location analysed using field TRNSY simulation-based technique. Using meteorological data from Meteonorm software, TRNSYS model created examine terms internal air temperature heating/cooling load two buildings with different orientations, e.g., North-East (NE) South-West (SW). According simulation results, there demand that covers 37% year, while comfort conditions were 32% 31%, respectively. For NE SW-facing buildings, 4.10 MWh 4.07 MWh, 1.302 1.309
