This paper investigated the impact of Window to Wall Ratios (WWR) an the thermal comfort and energy lighting demand of a building in tropical zone. Simulations were carried out for a reference office proposed by Task 27 of IEA using three Window to Wall Ratios (WWR). Results were analyzed both in terms of operative temperature and energy lighting consumption. Simulations results showed that for...

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...

The size of the window-to-wall ratio is a key factor affecting natural lighting, ventilation and energy consumption building. Taking Yanqui Library Jimei University as object combined with different shading conditions, range window-wall ratios that simultaneously meet requirements lighting saving derived by using Revit, Ecotect PKPM software simulations around ventilation. main conclusions are ...

In school buildings, especially learning spaces, good daylight and thermal conditions are important to promote the educational process, as unsatisfactory comfort levels can reduce physical intellectual performance for both teachers pupils. However, achieving successful classroom designs is rather complicated, it requires balancing of various interrelated factors, which particularly challenging ...

A reduction in energy consumption and efficiency improvement buildings have become one of the main objectives national international policies. In an optimization process, order to find most influential parameters achieve net zero energy, several ameliorations need be made residential buildings. this paper, two measures are discussed; effects locally available glazing types window-to-wall ratios...
