Abstract:

Building or solar orientation, a key architectural design parameter, significantly influences energy consumption in buildings. Optimizing building orientation to harness passive solar benefits is a fundamental and cost-effective measure in designing energy-efficient buildings. However, the optimal orientation varies based on geographical location, climatic conditions, and building type. Notably, Afghanistan’s building sector currently lacks tailored energy efficiency regulations. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of building orientation on the energy performance of residential buil

Abstract:

Daylighting is an essential aspect of sustainable building design as it reduces reliance on artificial lighting, improves energy efficiency, and promotes a healthier indoor environment. However, in the tropics, where excessive solar heat gain and intense sunlight prevail, designing residential buildings that maximise daylight while minimising heat gain relies heavily on correctly obtaining the building orientation. This study explores the challenges faced in achieving optimal residential building orientation in the tropics and proposes guidelines and tools for operationalising residential buil

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the operation principles of the double-skin facade (DSF) in winter of severe cold area. The paper discussed the main influence factors of building energy consumption, including the heat storage cavity spacing, the air circulation mode, the building envelope, and the building orientation. First, we studied the relationship among the thermal storage cavity spacing, the temperature distribution in the cavity of the DSF, and the indoor temperature. Then, we discussed the influence on the ambient temperature in the building exerted by the air circulation system of the double-s

Abstract:

Using coastal buildings for the emergency evacuation process in an unexpected tsunami event is an effective measure in flat widespread coastal areas. This is especially true in countries such as Japan located adjacent to the faults of tectonic plates, and having only a very limited time frame for evacuation following a tsunami warning. Well-constructed tsunami evacuation buildings can play a vital role under such circumstances. This makes proper understanding of tsunami force and its variation in different building configurations vital in the engineering design of such buildings. In this study

Abstract:

The cell orientation characteristics of the natural combs of honey bees have received much research attention. Although natural combs have been shown to be composed of cells with three orientations—vertical, intermediate (oblique), and horizontal—the proportion of comb cells in these three orientations varies. Knowledge of the comb-building preferences of honey bees is essential for the installation of wax comb foundations, and clarification of the cell orientation characteristics of natural honey bee combs is important for beekeeping. The purpose of this study was to determine the cell orient

Abstract:

The building envelope, through its components, affects the thermal performance and energy consumption, mainly through windows, which provide easy access for heat gain or loss. In this context, Windows play an essential role in building energy efficiency, influencing heating and cooling requirements. Three key window parameters must be optimized at the design stage to take advantage of solar gain while limiting overheating: orientation, glazing type, and window-to-wall ratio. Therefore, this article aims to assess the impact of different window parameters on the energy used for heating and cool

With a focus on reducing building energy consumption, approaches that simultaneously optimize multiple passive design parameters in industrial buildings have received limited attention.

This study bridges that gap by systematically optimizing key passive design parameters—building geometry, orientation, window-to-wall ratio (W

Buildings in rural areas are more exposed to open weather conditions than city centres and, therefore, need to be designed to be more energy efficient. This study systematically investigates the sensitivity of critical building design parameters (building orientation, insulation thickness, glazing properties, shading, and ventilation type) on the heating and cooling energy demand of a rural building in a Mediterranean climate. This study also aims to determine optimum energy-efficient building design conditions in the Mediterranean climate. Thermal simulations were performed using the IESVE to

The level of solar radiation from each orientation of the facade is certainly different and will result in differences in the energy level of the building envelope for each orientation of the residential unit. If the apartment units are conditioned by air conditioning (AC), it will also produce different levels of energy consumption. How is the difference in thermal performance of the facade and energy consumption in each orientation direct

Due to expensive energy costs nowadays, the architects are demanded to produce relatively efficient building designs, especially those with many stories. As a consequence, both accurate estimation and energy saving measures are extremely needed even at the early stage of the planning process. In fact, the consumption for the building energy has been mostly absorbed by air conditioning and lighting needs. In practice, both of them have been affected by direct contact of the sunlight penetrating through the building casing, either by conduction, convection or radiation processes. While both shap
