تجزیه و تحلیل پارامتری از استراتژی های سازگار با محیط زیست پاسخگو برای پوشش ساختمان مخصوص مناطق خشک بیش از حد داغ

Permutations investigated confirmed that conventional building systems did not allow for free running operation and that mechanical systems for heating and cooling were needed. This research concluded that it is imperative to extensively insulate building envelopes in order for them to be free running in winter. Extensive shading is needed in the transition seasons to allow for free running operation and avoid overheating. Completely shaded buildings, high efficiency window systems and levels of insulation above those currently employed when simulated with summer climate conditions had significantly lower energy consumption requirements than other building designs. The research showed that energy efficiency in this region depends on a combination of extensive insulation, full shade, high performance windows, air tightness and seasonal operation of window shutters utilized together.
