Building Envelope for Energy Saving in office Building

Abstract

The most crucial component in a building's ability to conserve energy is the building envelope. The importance of a building's front increases due to its huge surface area. Because of the low thermal resistance of the facade and high transparency ratio of office buildings, energy consumption is rising.  India has a tropical climate, thus heating or cooling is needed all year long to create a comfortable indoor atmosphere. The strain on the mechanical heating and cooling can be decreased by constructing the envelope in accordance with the environment, selecting appropriate materials, and choosing the right fenestration and shading device sizes.
