Cost, time, and energy-efficient envelope optimization for general industries components (buildings/ industrial buildings/ economizers/ heat pumps)
Utilizing building energy modelling and simulation can lead to more cost-effective and energy-efficient building envelope solutions than conducting field tests of actual implementations. This study focused on the building envelope's key components, including fenestration, shading devices, wall and roof assembly, and building configuration. A base-case model for the Tropical climate was created, adjusted, and then used in a parametric simulation, where 11 building envelope parameters were adjusted individually.
