Methods of Assessing Thermal Performance of Buildings
Buildings are responsible for approximately 30% of CO2 emissions and about 40% of the world’s energy usage. This energy is mainly used in buildings for thermal comfort. Built structures are one of the major energy consumers that are eventually to blame for environmental degradation in these times of escalating environmental concerns. Dealing with the building’s energy demand will help us mitigate this issue. Heat transfer from the outside to the inside occurs within the building envelope, and the quantities are determined using some fundamental ideas. To better understand the building’s energy requirements, the thermal performance of the structure can be evaluated a number of methods. The goal of this research is to investigate the suitability of various methodologies for evaluating the thermal performance of buildings. To comprehend their applications and adaptability, the three methods of evaluating thermal performance—numerical, simulation, and physical data—have been investigated.
