Sustainable building design: optimizing building geometry and external envelope to minimize energy consumption and CO2 emissions
Large energy use throughout a building's operating phase leads to greater energy expenditures. Optimising energy use is therefore essential to reducing these costs. Pre-construction stages can be used to investigate several options to make this happen using building optimisation. This study aims towards optimizing energy consumption, CO2 emissions from the use of electricity, and saving energy costs by investigating several design options in the pre-construction phase. Specifically, this study analyses building geometry, utilising the Autodesk Insight software to determine best possible orientation, windows-to-wall ratio (WWR), and glass selection. A commercial building in Mumbai serves as the case study, where the building model is examined in three different geometries. Each geometry is rotated 360° at 90-degree intervals, utilising Building Information Modelling (BIM) to apply energy-efficient design considerations, and integrating its operating schedule. Five options of window glass and WWR are examined in the study, along with four distinct building orientations, leading to a comprehensive analysis of 300 scenarios. The objective is to identify the configuration that optimises energy costs while reducing energy use and CO2 emissions. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for building designers and developers seeking to minimize energy use, cut CO2 emissions, and design low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings.
