The Sustainable Configuration Optimisation of Office Multi-Angled Façade Systems

Abstract

This research paper optimises the configuration of multi-angled façade systems to achieve the sustainability goals of reduced energy consumption and improved indoor climate quality. The concept of a multi-angled façade system is based on proposing the use of two different orientations of windows in each façade on a vertical axis, but not tilted up and down. The large part of the multi-angled façade is oriented more to the north to optimise the use of daylight and the small part more to the south to optimise the use of solar radiation. In order to evaluate the performance of the façade, the software program IDA ICE version 4.8 is used. (EQUA, Stockholm, Sweden). Two groups of scenarios were simulated: the first group consisted of nine scenarios (A1 to A9) that included changing the area and the orientation of the two façade parts, and the second group consisted of three scenarios (B1 to B3) by changing the window to wall ratio (WWR) of these scenarios. According to the results of the simulation, two scenarios from the first group are recommended: A3 for optimal daylight penetration and A7 for optimal energy performance. Regarding the second group, scenarios B1 for optimal daylight penetration and B3 for optimal energy performance are recommended.
