Impact of architectural form on the potential energy performance of multi-unit residential buildings .NH18-22/114-103E-PDF

The results of this modelling study indicate that designers seeking to reduce space conditioning loads in multi-unit residential buildings should focus first on building envelope performance parameters. Other parameters of architectural form such as floor plate geometry, building orientation and height tend to have less impact on the energy performance of MURBs and may be addressed once building envelope thermal performance has been optimized.
