Carefully designing a building facade is the most crucial way to save energy, and a double-skin facade is an effective strategy for achieving energy efficiency. The improvement that can be made depends on how the double-skin facade is set up and what the weather conditions are like. This study was designed to investigate the best-case scenario with an appropriate double-skin facade configuration for optimizing building energy performance. A methodology for optimizing the building's initial condition was introduced using EnergyPlus and ClimateStudio according to a 1-year period of the city of Erbil. Analysis of double-skin parameters was performed by utilizing a multi-objective analysis approach. Four naturally ventilated geometric configurations were assessed: building-height, storey-height, shaft-box, and box-window. The results provide annual and seasonal consumption curves for each orientation. The massive airflow between adjacent thermal zones of a shaft-box facade significantly reduces the amount of cooling energy needed. Hence, due to the intricate internal partitioning that allows for airflow within the cavity and shaft, this design indicates multiple advantages over others. The annual cooling demand drops significantly, by 9% to 14%. Energy savings of up to 116,574 kWh per year are possible when using a double-skin facade compared to the building’s initial condition, which is a great asset in the temperate environment of Erbil.

Building shape and orientation significantly affect how buildings use energy. The objective of this study was to establish a precise process for improving building shape and orientation early in the design process. A parametric optimization workflow approach was proposed for that objective. As a case study, a primary school building in an area with a warm and dry climate was chosen. Various building shapes (simple rectangle, L shape, U shape, court shape, and square shape) were simulated using parametric energy modeling and simulation tools to determine the EUI for each shape. Utilizing the Octopus plugin, optimization was carried out on the same canvas as the parametric tool (Grasshopper). The genetic diversity of the EUI value and the orientation and glazing ratio WWR were used as the optimization process' input variables. The findings showed that the square building form with a 17° orientation angle was the best approach for achieving the most significant development in the EUI value, reaching energy efficiency improvements of up to 40%.

“…The structures are designed to reduce the adverse impacts of the surrounding environment (Oberfrancová, Legény, andŠpaček 2019, Sultan Qurraie andKılıç Bakırhan 2023). Energy resources must be employed in the building industry and in design to minimize energy consumption in order to meet humanity's desire for sustainability (Qurraie and Kıraç 2022). Sustainability is an approach that aims to effectively use resources and reduce environmental impacts by considering environmental, social, and economic factors.…”

Communication is an essential process that enables the sharing of information, experiences, and emotions among individuals. Historically, communication has been a tool used by people to showcase and pass on what they possess to future generations (Demir 2009). People have developed communication tools and spaces to the fullest extent possible, utilizing all the opportunities available in their time. The purpose and scope of showcasing have evolved over time, and this evolution is reflected in the architectural structure of exhibition spaces. Fairs have transformed into platforms where products or services are exhibited, creating spatial organizations that provide a backdrop for spatial communication between exhibitors and visitors (Fettahoğlu and Aydıntan 2023). Fairs, along with industrialization, globalization, and technological advancements, have become increasingly important exhibition spaces. When approached from a commercial perspective, showcasing takes place through trade fairs, and exhibition spaces are referred to as trade fair booths. Trade fairs, driven by globalization, prompt companies to seek new markets in order to maintain their existing market share and increase their profits. These trade fairs are commercial exhibitions where products and services are showcased at the national and international levels. Trade fairs occur as a result of companies in similar sectors coming together to hold discussions, sell products, and establish business connections. Fairs play a significant role by reflecting the latest developments in the industry and aiming towards the future. Trade fairs serve as the most suitable showcases for numerous manufacturing companies to sell their products or services. Fairs serve as an important platform for intercommunication between the masses. As an extension of economic and cultural developments, fairs are events where exhibition stands of businesses strive to attract attention. These stands are used with the purpose of introducing business products or services to the target audience, strengthening brand image, solidifying collaborations, and increasing sales potential. Exhibition spaces also function as tools that reflect brand identity. With the increase in brand awareness and advertising expenditures by companies, fair organizations are constantly evolving, varying in size and quality. However, concepts such as meetings and interaction still maintain their relevance at the core of these organizations. By being used as spaces where participants and visitors can come together to interact, exchange information, and establish business relationships, exhibition spaces have diversified the purpose of fair organizations. They can now encompass different objectives, including entertainment, cultural promotion, and strengthening international relations (Yilmaz). In the present day, comprehensive fair organizations bring together participants from different sectors to serve various goals. In this
