Prefabricated temporary buildings are a promising solution for post-disaster scenarios their modularity, sustainability and transportation advantages. However, low thermal mass building envelope shows fast response to heat flux excitations. This leads the risk of not meeting occupant comfort HVAC energy-saving requirements. The literature different measures implementable in opaque surfaces, like vacuum insulation panels (VIPs), phase change materials (PCMs) switchable coatings, transparent surfaces (switchable glazing) mitigate issues, overheating, while preserving limited available internal space. paper investigates energy overheating performance mentioned interventions by using simulation tools assess effectiveness. optimization also looks at flexibility each intervention better support decision maker manufacturing innovative units. most energy-efficient turn be VIPs as winter PCMs summer.
