| description | This research is about the development of an energy-efficient building environmental
quality evaluation framework for office building in hot and humid climatic regions.
The aim of this research is to develop an evaluation framework for the identification
of problems with respect to energy-efficient design affecting occupants’ comfort.
This research focuses on the application of energy-efficient design in office building;
secondly, identifies the effects of energy-efficient design problems towards
occupants’ comfort; and finally proposes an evaluation framework for the rating of
energy-efficient design problems which affect the occupants’ comfort. This research
was conducted at three energy-efficient buildings in Malaysia. A new building
performance evaluation framework Energy-efficient Building Environmental Quality
Evaluation Framework has been constructed and tested at the selected energyefficient
buildings.
The
tested
results
were
then
analyzed using Statistical Package
for Social Science (SPSS) in order to determine its reliability and validity. The
research outcomes have shown high reliability and validity of the validated newly
designed evaluation framework. In conclusion, this research has shown that the
newly designed Energy-efficient Building Environmental Quality Evaluation
Framework is able to identify the occupants’ comfort level in energy-efficient
building and the causes of the problems which is mainly due to the building envelop
such as shading and window features of the energy-efficient building. |
