- W4386133780 abstract "The building sector accounts for over one-third of global energy consumption and a significant share of carbon emissions. Improving building energy efficiency, particularly in the tropics, where most of the future development is foreseen, is thus crucial. One of the main factors that determine building energy performance is the building envelope. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the impact of several envelope design variables, such as thermal, optical, physical, and geometrical, on the energy performance of buildings in the tropics. A correlational analysis that elaborates on the effectiveness of each of these measures is discussed in detail. The findings indicate that insulation, glazing properties, and Window-to-wall ratio (WWR) are promising solutions for improving energy efficiency in tropical buildings. Among these, insulating the building envelope has the most significant impact on energy savings. The variables of building orientation and the thermal mass of building materials have the least influence on total energy consumption. The latter exhibits complex effects in regions characterized by hot-humid climates. An optimized design in cooling-dominated climates should have a large aspect ratio, a higher WWR in the north and south facades, and an ideal shading system. With all variables combined and appropriate ventilation, a building can save 35% of annual energy and up to 60% in some cases. This study further reveals that available research on the effect of building shape and the context of surrounding built environment on energy consumption remains limited." @default.
