With an increase in the interest in the energy conservation for buildings, and the emergence of many methods and easily-understandable approaches to it, energy conservation has now become the public’s main interest, as compared to in the past when it was only focused upon by experts. This study aims to help the occupants of a building to understand the energy efficiency and consumption of the b...

Proper use of daylighting cannot only improve the visual comfort in indoor environment, but also reduce building energy consumption effectively. Studies on this topic have been mostly conducted for office buildings, but were limited for industrial buildings, where lighting is a major electricity consumer. This paper presents a study of daylighting performance in a large space industrial buildin...

Energy consumption in the residential sector is a complex socio-technical problem that can be explained using acombination of physical, demographic and behavioural characteristics of a house and its occupants. In this paper, byusing the energy consumption data for the residential sector of Shiraz in Iran, the effect of built area (BA) andoccupant number (Occ) on annual energy consumption (Ec) w...

Most of today's buildings, due to improper imitation the architecture buildings in other countries, are forced use more energy create conditions thermal comfort. Building windows affect efficiency. So, aim this research is be concerned with Tabriz climate; selecting proportion and suitable glazing windows, order access best design execute a model decrease consumption. The approach utilize simul...

Buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy use and contribute towards 30% of the total CO2 emissions. The drive to reduce energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions from buildings has acted as a catalyst in the development of advanced computational methods for energy efficient design, management and control of buildings and systems. Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVA...
