existing window to wall ratio of the building is 13.04 %. The heating load of the building is 78.9 MJ/m2 while the cooling load is 64.1 MJ/m2 (sensible) and 12.9 MJ/m2 (latent). The existing building construction is of simple brick masonry and reinforced concrete without any kind of insulation. All windows are single-glazed aluminium framed windows. It should be noted that this simulation gives us a very general idea of the building’s energy performance as it only…
