- W132097654 abstract "Energy efficiency differs by building use and type as well as prevailing climatic conditions. This study examines the energy efficiency of tall office buildings in a Mediterranean climate by developing an energy balance for a typical level (or storey) of the building that may be of any form or style. The availability of, and ability to harness, renewable energy in the form of wind and solar power contributes positively to the balance against energy consumption. The latter includes the contributions of a variety of technologies used to support the working environment. These range from traditional constructions through to modern energyefficient designs of building form and systems. The model that results has the potential for widespread use as a design tool that can be integrated with the architectural and construction-based execution of building projects. In order to quantify efficiently the effects of a large number of parametric permutations that characterise different building forms and systems, mathematical modelling and simulation are adopted to construct a virtual prototype for each building and its associated systems. Modelling programs are used to calculate the buildingenergy loads resulting from solar gains and occupancy, while Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to assess detailed air flow within the building, wind patterns and pressure profiles which may be harnessed to provide supplementary energy to the building. Parameters assessed for their impact on the energy consumption for each typical level include: the floor-plate geometry; faade construction; glazing positioning; fixed and operable shading devices; various Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems; building-management profiles and occupant comfort-tolerance bands. These parameters are varied to assess their impact on the energy consumption of the building over a typical reference year while maintaining occupant usability ratings such as availability of daylight, temperature and comfort bands within acceptable limits. The results of the study indicate that the appropriate selection and optimisation of building form, HVAC system, and shading devices can significantly reduce building energy consumption with little or no additional cost to the overall project. By considering opportunities to harvest renewable energy sources such as solar and wind and integrating these with modern building systems, a cross-over point can be reached where energy consumption for a given floor area balances the harvestable renewable energy for each typical level. The results of these investigations can be used to optimise and maximise the area of the floor-plate which may yield an energy and carbon-neutral outcome while maintaining occupancy comfort limits." @default.
