As climate change continues, it is expected that the risk of overheating will rise in both new and existing buildings mixed humid zones Europe. This study introduced a novel sensitive sizing design approach for cooling heating systems nearly zero-energy office Brussels, Belgium, different weather scenarios. considered long-term effects on building performance. The were assessed using current fu...

Solar power systems, such as photovoltaic (PV) have become a necessary feature of zero-energy buildings because efficient building design and construction materials alone are not sufficient to meet the building’s energy consumption needs. However, solar generation is subject fluctuations based on weather conditions, these higher than other renewable sources. This phenomenon has emphasized impor...

This data article contains eleven tables supporting the research article entitled: Cost-Optimal Design For Nearly Zero Energy Office Buildings Located In Warm Climates [1]. The data explain the procedure of minimum energy performance requirements presented by the European Directive (EPBD) [2] to establish several variants of energy efficiency measures with the integration of renewable energy so...

School buildings as a major part of public buildings are considered as one of the basic consumers of energy in Iran. Based on building typology and occupancy patterns, school buildings have a great potentiality for energy optimization while providing thermal comfort. This study investigates the architectural design parameters such as orientation, optimum window to wall ratio, space organization...
