Energy-efficient design optimization of a building envelope using DOE-2

Abstract

This paper focuses on various design parameters targeted to improve building considering numerous variable such as efficient energy measures, cost effective parameters, indoor & outdoor comfort, environmental problems based on seasonal variations etc. The reported data deals with various optimization parameters of the building envelope located at the GIET University campus, Gunupur, Odisha. The research focuses on optimal choices of cost, energy consumption and efficiency measures. The data analyzed provide qualitative information on optimal cost, energy efficiency solutions, renewable energy production onsite and energy saving potential. This work is intended for optimizing the energy performance of building using Energy Plus and Open studio which is a simulation-based optimization methodology which links the data related to the building optimization model targeting towards net zero energy building.
