A method for using street view imagery to auto-extract window-to-wall ratios and its relevance for urban-level daylighting and energy simulations

Jakub T. Szczesniak et al.

Summary: Urban building energy and daylight modeling have been developing rapidly thanks to the availability of urban data sets. This paper proposes a methodology to automatically extract facade opening layouts and demonstrates its effectiveness through a comparison with manually determined parameters. The study in downtown Chicago reveals the significant impact of different window-to-wall ratios on daylighting and energy performance of buildings.

Investigating the thermal performance and Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) of air-conditioned buildings under the effect of adjacent shading against solar radiation

Lok Shun Chan

Summary: Building energy conservation regulations are formulated to govern the design and operation of energy efficient buildings, with Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) being a key performance indicator. This study aims to develop an appropriate approach for calculating the OTTV of buildings under adjacent shading effect. Results show significant discrepancies in OTTV calculation between cases with and without consideration of adjacent shading effect, with the developed methodology providing a solution to this accuracy issue.
