“…As important remark, the performance of a solar control film and the its benefits strongly depend on the climate conditions: Xamán et al [26] investigated a double pane window with SnS-CuxS film by a numerical model, both in cold and warm climates. The authors found that the use of a solar film is highly recommended for warm climates, allowing a reduction of 52% in terms of energy gained, whereas for cold climates the amount of energy gain through the system reduces of about 10%.…”

“…It can be concluded that several studies have been developed to estimate how solar control films influence energy consumption and peak demand using building energy simulation [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], whereas the experimental investigation is limited to few case studies in warm humid climate (for instance Hong Kong and Malaysia), only taking into account the performance in terms of solar heat gain, temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and daylighting reduction [30][31][32].…”

“…For this purpose, there exist a wide range of glazes that can be used in buildings, particularly the double pane window (DPW) has been proposed as an alternative to the traditional single layer window. Several studies about DPW are available in the literature aiming to determine their thermal performance with different fluids, which are encapsulated in the cavity formed by the glass [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Some relevant studies about DPW are described below.…”

“…From an economic point of view, low-solar gain windows are more suitable in warm climates whereas high-solar gain windows are preferred for cold climates. J. Xamán et al [40] underline the importance of using solar control films on double pane windows for buildings located in warm climates, in order to decrease overheating during the hottest months. Cappelletti et al [41] relates windows performances with building location, climate and façade orientation.…”

Abstract:Finding the most appropriate configuration of building components at the design stage can reduce energy consumption in new buildings. This study aims to optimize the design of the envelope of a new residential building located in a warm climate (southern Italy). The thermal behaviour of the building has been analysed to evaluate the indoor operative air temperature for several configurations. The building prototype has been modelled using the dynamic simulation software TRNSYS 17 (A transient system simulation program, University of Wisconsin, Solar Energy Laboratory, USA, 2010) using a sequential search technique. Starting from the simplest building configuration, the main evaluated components are: walls, slab-on-ground floor, roof, shading, windows and internal heat loads. For each of these components, different design options have been modelled and compared in terms of indoor thermal comfort. Comfort parameters have also been taken into account to evaluate users' satisfaction with the optimized configurations. The study of the operative air temperature demonstrates that the absence of insulating layers in the ground floor ensures a lower internal temperature in summer. The paper shows how each component impacts the thermal behaviour of the whole building. It highlights the usefulness of the envelope design optimization that is characterized by high values of heat storage capacity, enabling internal temperature fluctuations to be kept under control, especially during summer.Keywords: envelope; optimization; building; TRNSYS; operative air temperature; warm climate; comfort HIGHLIGHTS:•The envelope design of a residential building has been optimized for a warm climate.• Several envelope design options have been evaluated and compared.• Walls with a high internal areal heat capacity are preferable in a warm climate. •The absence of insulating layers on slab-on-ground floor provides lower temperature in summer.• Low emissivity glass and low solar absorbance roof reduce heat loads.
