Implication

Analysis demonstrates significant thermal performance differences due to facade orientation in educational buildings, suggesting energy efficiency improvements.

Key Points

Significant differences in thermal performance were found between north-facing and south-facing offices.
Indoor space temperature and cooling loads varied greatly based on facade orientation, supporting energy efficiency.
Dynamic thermal simulations were conducted over a year using TRNSYS 18 to analyze these differences.
Findings imply that effective facade design can reduce heat absorption, enhancing thermal comfort in hot climates.
