description |
IES (Integrated Environment Solution) VE-ware is a building simulation software that is able to
generate the carbon footprint and the energy usage of a building.
With reference to journals on LCA of buildings and other related journals, the operation phase of the
building was identified to be the predominant period of a building‟s lifespan and this relate to the
building‟s greatest environmental impact as well. This information set the direction and boundary for
the study in this project.
During the operation phrase of a building, four areas were identified to be the main energy
consumption parameters. They are;
1. Windows to Walls ratio (WWR)
2. Green Roof
3. Phase Changing materials (PCM)
4. Orientation of building
The buildings location was varied as well. Three locations; Singapore, Alaska and Spain were chosen
to represent a tropical, a cold and a temperate climate respectively.
The building‟s HVAC system was assigned to be: Split systems with mechanical ventilation with
cooling. The control building was designed to be at 35th storey tall with a floor area of 70,875m2 .It‟s
service life was assumed to be of more than 50 years as well. |
