With a focus on reducing building energy consumption, approaches that simultaneously optimize multiple passive design parameters in industrial buildings have received limited attention. Most existing studies tend to examine geometry or individual under scenarios, underscoring the potential benefits of adopting comprehensive, multiparameter approach integrates climate-responsive and sustainable strategies. This study bridges gap by systematically optimizing key parameters—building geometry, orientation, window-to-wall ratio (WWR), glazing type—to minimize loads enhance sustainability across five distinct climate zones. Fifteen different geometries with equal floor areas volumes were analyzed, considering fifteen types orientations varying 30° increments. DesignBuilder simulations yielded 16,900 results, due inherent challenges directly within simulation environments, data restructured reveal underlying relationships. An Energy Performance Optimization Model, based Particle Swarm (PSO) algorithm integrated an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), was developed identify optimal solutions tailored specific climatic conditions. The optimization results successfully determined combinations WWR, type reduce heating cooling loads, thereby promoting efficiency carbon emissions buildings. offers practical solution set provides architects actionable recommendations during early phase, establishing machine learning-based framework for achieving sustainable, energy-efficient, designs.

Residential buildings are turning out to be huge power-consumption units that accommodate multiple families. To limit energy consumption and environmental impacts, conventional being retrofitted as green buildings. However, due the lack of awareness among residents construction agencies, adoption pace building retrofitting is slow. Under current procedures, envelopes have been given great attention, which an expensive complex process. sizing lighting cooling loads has not considered in process, careful attention needed they major loads. In this research, appropriate loads, along with optimized water consumption, performed. The obtained using parametric variations, i.e., varying coefficient utilization (CU) factor wall-to-window ratio (WWR) different rooms quantify their impact on power consumption. optimization performed particle swarm optimization. A case study a residential was taken, unit study. It found variations can reduce sizing, significant overall whereas optimizing significantly building. Finally, comparison made terms for practices optimal analysis. proposed subsequent retrofitting, reduced 34%, space requirements were 19%.

Current building techniques in developing countries have become extremely critical. The net-zero energy concept has emerged as an essential strategy for minimising consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, its implementation, particularly countries, remains a critical challenge. purpose of this work is to assess the feasibility achieving by combining energy-efficient design practices renewable systems under climatic conditions Republic Congo. To achieve stipulated objectives, DesignBuilder software was utilised modelling, load assessment multiobjective optimisation efficiency measures, multicriteria carried out using HOMER tool. results showed that implementation measures resulted 39.15% savings, 43.45% thermal savings 55.68% discomfort hours reduction. Furthermore, system can provide 100% building’s total 3341.84 kgCO 2 eq/year. system’s levelised cost estimated at 0.256 $/kWh, with net present $20,231, while overall life cycle calculated 188.91 $/m .

In the European Union, buildings account for 42% of energy consumption and 36% direct indirect energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing thermal power heating purposes is crucial to achieve climate neutrality. The main purpose this article identify places in building where it possible significantly improve efficiency through use appropriate construction material solutions. This contains a multi-aspect approach heat balance building. Solutions that have impact on were analysed, taking into architectural, technological, aspects. Particular attention was paid energy-efficient design solutions non-transparent transparent external walls storage (Trombe walls). An analysis transfer elements carried out, along with optimisation barriers. Two methods determining equivalent coefficient Ue solar active partitions are presented. presented work using original method balanced testing ground identifying unfavourable features structure, as well most can be used establishing standards modernisation buildings. value illustrates actual partition. Having values various structural envelopes, designer easily select effective ones. methodology will allow technical its efficiency.
