Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the impact of building form and fenestration on energy demand for current and future climate scenarios. For the purpose of this study, a typical 24-hour operational small office building with 1000 m2 floor area located in New Delhi (28.6139° N, 77.2090° E), India is considered. The base case building model complaint with ECBC (Energy conservation building code) guidelines is modelled using Grasshopper software tool. Relative compactness is varied from 0.43 to 1, window to wall ratio is varied from 20% to 40% and orientation from 0° to 90°. Cooling and heating loads are analysed for current weather condition using TMY (typical meteorological year) weather file and IPCC (Inter-governmental panel on climate change) future climate scenarios (A1B) for year 2018 and 2070. Optimization of building form and fenestration is carried out for the building configuration alternates using Response surface method. The paper presents the impact of climate change on cooling demand. It highlights the need to consider the climate change impact in building energy demand predictions.
