Revolutionizing Energy Efficiency: New Building Design Saves 45% on Annual Energy Consumption
The study looked at how different building features affect energy use in a test room. By using simulations, they found that changing things like glazing and roof material can save 20-45% of energy. They also discovered that solar heat gain has a big impact on energy use, with double glazing being more energy-efficient than electrochromic glazing. Overall, the research shows that certain building materials and design choices can significantly reduce energy consumption in buildings.
