Decisions early in the design process have a big impact on life cycle performance of building. The outcome construction project can be improved if different options rapidly analysed to assist client and team making informed decisions process. A model‐based approach facilitate decision‐making alternatives' performances evaluated compared. framework using performance‐based phase is proposed. It developed support decision‐makers take regarding scenario order demonstrate proposed evaluating...
Green roofs are complex systems, with a vegetation layer covering the outermost surface of building shell. An effective design may confer environmental and energy benefits. Most field studies evaluating green roof performance have been conducted in warmer climates few full-scale cold regions. No study has so far evaluated sub-arctic climate. This demonstrates heat flow thermal effect an extensive versus black bare area on highly insulated town Kiruna, Sweden, for period from November 2016 to...
Buildings play a significant role in global carbon emissions, and offer substantial potential for energy savings emission reduction. This research delves into the Emission Factor Discrepancy (EFD)—the variance CO2 reduction projections obtained by employing either annual or hourly average (EF) electricity generation. Through two detailed case studies Netherlands incorporating data from Netherlands, Sweden, France, study uncovers magnitude country-specific variability of EFD. By demonstrating...
The economic viability of novel energy-efficient design concepts has been evaluated in Finnish educational buildings. total energy consumption representative target buildings with each concept found using the whole-building simulation tool IDA Indoor Climate and Energy 4.0, financial assessed discounted payback period method. Different thermal insulation air tightness properties building envelope, different ventilation's heat recovery efficiency assumptions distribution options have...
Research indicates that the operational energy and embodied caused by production of building materials off-site (i.e., "cradle-to-gate" energy) contribute to major part a building's total use, with roughly equal proportions. In addition, it has been reported there is trade-off between embodied- which mainly due use additional higher utilization new appliances for construction (or interest). Hence, application sustainable strategies in early stages design phase, enables evaluation different...
