Abstract

This paper provides a simplified analysis method to reduce energy demand in residential buildings in Syria, focusing on minimizing heating loads, which accounts over than 55% of the total energy consumption, as well as reducing heat loss without causing summer overheating. The simplified analysis method is developed based on detailed simulation analyses utilizing several combinations of passive design strategies (construction materials, glazing types, and climate). A direct correlation would be established between the developed methods and the heating energy requirement as well as the total cooling loads, finally a recommended structural system will be introduced.
