dc.description.abstractThis study examines the potential impact of different configurations of building envelope material including external walls and windows on the final cooling energy consumption in a typical residential apartment in Beirut city that uses conventional DX split units in living room and bedroom zones using HAP software. MED-ENEC study is used to benchmark the Business as Usual (BAU) construction scenario of a case study apartment simulated in HAP that uses single walls and single glazing for windows. After the HAP (BAU) model is validated with MED-ENEC at 78 kWh/m2.year, five different scenarios that include different envelope configurations are simulated to assess possible energy savings, cost savings from EDL and generator subscription, in addition to CO2 emissions reduction.
