Effect of Wall Insulation with Different Orientation on Energy Consumption in Different Climate Areas

Abstract:

The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effect of wall insulation with different orientation. The author build an office building model using eQuest, analyze the cooling/heating energy consumption and utility bills with different exterior wall configurations for each orientation. The simulation used 5 different climate areas around United State as building locations. The results indicate that wall orientation does have influence on energy consumption for buildings and thus influence the utility bills ;The influence also vary with climate conditions.
