Impact of window to walls ratios on thermal comfort and energy consumption in tropical zone
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Collaborative Computing - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper investigated the impact of Window to Wall Ratios (WWR) an the thermal comfort and energy lighting demand of a building in tropical zone. Simulations were carried out for a reference office proposed by Task 27 of IEA using three Window to Wall Ratios (WWR). Results were analyzed both in terms of operative temperature and energy lighting consumption. Simulations results showed that for increasing WWR, the operative temperature increases and energy lighting demand decreases.
