“…Similarly, Felimban et al (2019) found that due to the poor designs of windows, it led to a temperature above 238C. The relationship of studies (Fallahtafti and Mahdavinejad, 2021;Felimban et al, 2019) on energy consumption has been established by Yang et al (2023) as an inverse relationship between temperature and energy consumption. Moreover, their study found that an increase in room density, room locations and floor influenced electricity consumption.…”

“…The relationship between thermal comfort and energy has provided diverse results among studies. Some schools of thought reported a positive relationship between thermal comfort and energy consumption (Wang et al ., 2021; Fallahtafti and Mahdavinejad, 2021). Others are of the view that the lack of sustainable building design shows a negative effect on energy use intensity.…”

“…Their study further found enclosed air-tightening buildings and operable windows to influence air distribution and energy consumption. Drawing on the relevance of operable window in indoor air quality, Fallahtafti and Mahdavinejad (2021) found that window hood and its projection reduce air velocity and control incoming air from the external environment. Zhang and Liu (2023) also found high natural ventilation (15 min) when the window opening area is below ground level and dormitories face different building orientations.…”

PurposeTo significantly adopt and improve indoor energy efficiency in building infrastructure in developing countries can be a challenging venture. Thus, this study aimed to assess the satisfaction of indoor environmental quality and its effect on energy use intensity and efficient among student housing.Design/methodology/approachThe study is quantitative and hinged on the contrast theory. A survey of 1,078 student residents living in purpose-built student housing was contacted. Using Post-Occupancy Evaluation and Multiple Linear Regression, critical variables such as thermal comfort, visual comfort and indoor air quality and 21 indicators were assessed. Data on annual energy consumption and total square metre of the indoor area were utilised to assess energy use intensity.FindingsThe study found a direct relationship between satisfaction with indoor environmental quality and energy use intensity. The study showed that students were more satisfied with thermal comfort conditions than visual and indoor air quality. Overall, these indicators contributed to 75.9% kWh/m2 minimum and 43.2% kWh/m2 maximum energy use intensity in student housing in Ghana. High occupancy and small useable space in student housing resulted in high energy use intensity.Practical implicationsInclusions of sustainable designs and installation of smart mechanical systems are feedback to student housing designers. Again, adaptation to retrofitting ideas can facilitate energy efficiency in the current state of student housing in Ghana.Originality/valueEarlier studies have argued for and against the satisfaction of indoor environmental quality in student housing. However, these studies have neglected to examine the impact on energy use intensity. This is novel because the assessment of energy use intensity in this study has a positive influence on active design incorporation among student housing.

“…Form optimization is therefore a consistent research field: usual approaches include cost-evaluation, glazing properties, heat losses (Granadeiro et al, 2013). In this sense, many approaches are keeping into account geometry together with structural properties, in order to optimize use of materials, and to provide light structures (Beghini, Beghini, Katz, Baker, & Paulino, 2014;Rozvany, 2009;Sigmund, 2000), or considering solar radiation gain and efficiency (Fallahtafti, R., Mahdavinejad, 2015;Yi, H., Srinivasan, R.S., Braham, 2015;Yi, Y.K., Malkawi, 2012;Zhang, L., Zhang, L., Wang, 2016).…”
