This paper presents a new, multi-objective method of analysing and optimising the energy
processes associated with window system design in office buildings. The simultaneous …

In school buildings, especially learning spaces, good daylight and thermal conditions are
important to promote the educational process, as unsatisfactory comfort levels can reduce …

With the increasing demand for sustainable design and green buildings, building
performance is having a greater influence on design decisions. Design decisions on …

The building envelope design parameters including windows, apertures, shading, and
materials have a significant interactive impact on the performance of a building. However …

Introduction Adaptive reuse in heritage buildings is the best strategy rather than demolishing
and reconstructing, while the suggested retrofitting has severe constraints to preserve …

One of the top priorities in the building design process is minimizing energy consumption.
Moreover, the level of occupants' comfort directly affects their learning ability Therefore, this …
