The goal of the study was to find ways to design flat buildings that are energy-efficient and comfortable in warm, humid climates. The researchers looked at different materials and ventilation options for the building facades to reduce heat and save energy. They focused on optimizing the facade to make the buildings more comfortable for the people living in them. The key finding was that by carefully designing the facade, it is possible to create energy-saving flat buildings that are comfortable for occupants in warm, humid climates.
