Life cycle approach in evaluating energy performance of residential buildings in Indian context
Highlights ► The paper presents life cycle energy (LCE) analysis of residential buildings in Indian context. ► LCE of the buildings is varying from 240 to 380kWh/m2 year depending on the envelope of the building and climatic conditions. ► LCE savings of about 5–30% are observed with thermal insulation on wall and roof along with double pane glass for windows. ► It is found that net zero operating energy building can be achieved by on-site power generation from PV and wind turbine. ► LCE of a building for net zero operating energy is evaluated to be 71.24kWh/m2 year.
Abstract The paper presents life cycle energy (LCE) analysis of different types of residential buildings (one storey, two storey, and duplex and multi storey) in Indian context. A total of 10 houses’ designs were examined with energy saving features, e.g. thermal insulation on wall and roof, double pane glass for windows. One of these buildings was further examined to assess LCE performance with on-site power generation. Dynamic energy simulation tools DesignBuilder, e-Quest and EnergyPlus were used to assess energy performance of the buildings. LCE of the buildings is varying from 240 to 380kWh/m2 year depending on the type (envelope) of the building and climatic conditions. LCE savings of about 5–30% are observed with thermal insulation on wall and roof along with double pane glass for windows. It is found that net zero operating energy building can be achieved by on-site power generation from PV and wind turbine. LCE of the building for net zero operating energy is evaluated to be 71.24kWh/m2 year.
