where for the case 1–4, the HVAC1 system turns on 1 h before work-ing hours and turn off 1 h after working hours, and for the case5–8, the HVAC2 system is on only during working hours.
Light-ing, miscellaneous equipment, and service hot water schedules were matched to occupancy schedules with limited usage during unoccupied times.
In addition, various building envelope variables including insulation, flooring, glazing, materials, as well as build-ing orientation were considered as input parameters.
In total, 17 building design variables were considered in this study.
were considered as input parameters.
