Building performance analysis –aspects of energy management and thermal insulation factors influencing
Session
Energy Efficiency Engineering
Description
As energy becomes more costly and demand grows, the use of efficient thermal insulations in buildings becomes more serious. Energy consumption in buildings accounts for 20-40% of the total energy consumption in developed countries.Sustainability analyses on buildings can be accomplished mainly in the areas of energy consumption, daylight intake, solar and shadow relations with building itself and the surrounding settlement, solar radiation gain, wind and natural ventilation. Historically, these analyzes were used to perform with physical models under laboratory conditions. Later, Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools contributed to this process by offering a virtual graphical test environment. This form of work typically divides design and analysis processes, each of which is performed with different applications. It is valuable to be able to conduct early sustainability analyses on High Performance Buildings proposed according to sustainable design principles and physical environment conditions in order to measure whether they fulfill the performance targets and design metrics prior to construction. These analyses may initiate reevaluations and revisions in design decisions for lower operating cost in buildings and improved comfort levels of their occupants.
