N2  - This  paper  proposes  a  method  to  characterize  the impact of shape  on  the  energy  performance  of  office buildings, considering a  wide  range of climate types. 16  modular  building  shapes,  from  one  to 25  stories height,  but  with  the  same  useful  floor  area  and volume, have been simulated in the 17 climatic zones defined by  the  ASHRAE  Standard.  The results  have been  analysed  to  determine  how  the  effect  of building  shape  varies  depending  on  the  climate. Furthermore,  the  study  defines  a  set  of  shape parameters  that  could  be  useful  to  determine  the relationship  between  the  shape  and  the  key  energy loads of buildings: lighting, heating and cooling.
