In hot climates, such as sub-Sahara Africa, window sizing and orientation pose challenges they add, through solar insolation, to the building cooling energy demand thus cause of indoor overheating risk. This risk can be reduced passive building-design-integrated measures, e.g., optimizing size, shading strategies. Through an IDA-ICE performance simulation tool, current study explores impact opt...

Daylight in classrooms is a critical factor in school design, in terms of its impact on students’ health, learning and visual performance. Providing adequate amount of evenly distributed daylight and glare prevention are important challenges in classroom design. Window configuration significantly affects the intensity and uniformity of daylight. This paper aims to investigate the effect o...

Window energy consumption has become a key factor in designing buildings with optimal efficiency. To that end, herein, the use of an energy-saving insulated window (ESIW) is proposed, particularly for winter heat conservation. DeST software was used to evaluate properties house ESIW-structure window, as well six other structures currently on market. The results were subsequently compared. Furth...

One of the sustainable approaches to improving indoor thermal comfort and building ventilation efficiency, particularly in developing populated countries, is implement optimum passive design solutions. However, interaction between performance, comfort, features buildings scarcely studied domain airflow modeling. Therefore, this study aims at assessing performance with regards strategies, specif...

Good daylighting performance positively affects students’ physical and mental health, learning efficiency, the building’s energy-saving capability. Due to terrace classroom having ample space, large capacity, ability avoid obstructing sight, meet various use needs, it is most important place in university buildings. However, research on of classrooms limited, leading a lack quantitative guidanc...

To address the uneven distribution of thermal environment in buildings and temperature deviation between end sensing devices work area, this paper presents a simulation experimental study indoor characteristics its influencing factors, taking an office northern area as research object. Firstly, three-dimensional model building is constructed based on ANSYS software to simulate summer winter und...

Due to global temperature increases, terraced house (TH) residents face a threat their health due poor indoor thermal environments. As buildings are constructed by low-income without professional guidance, this study aims investigate the comfort and energy resilience of THs under future climate determine optimal passive design strategies for construction retrofitting. By exploring effects build...

Window-to-Wall Ratio(WWR) is a crucial building envelope element that decides the air conditioning and lighting energy consumption in building. Controlling WWR within reasonable range of great significance to conservation. Due importance WWR’s selection Revit modeling, an automatic compliance check software Modeling developed ensure model range. The given Design Standard for Energy Efficiency P...
