Ways to reduce energy consumption in the building

The current policies of countries in the field of energy consumption have required the implementation of measures to reduce consumption in buildings.

A high share of energy consumption in the country is allocated to the construction sector. The main factors of high energy consumption are the low cost of energy in the country and the lack of proper thermal insulation of buildings. Due to the poor quality of the outer shell components of the building, more energy in the countrys buildings to provide heating and cooling in summer and Winter is consumed and due to the low energy price in the country, this excessive energy consumption is not considered much and the necessary measures to reduce consumption are not considered in the architecture and shell of the building. The current policies of the country in the field of consumption and the governments efforts to liberalize the prices of energy carriers require the implementation of measures to reduce consumption in buildings. Energy management and architectural considerations in the building shell in order to get acquainted with the components of the building shell and its impact on heat transfer and energy consumption of the building.

On the other hand, the energy consumption of a building depends on its heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting. The building shell directly and indirectly affects all of these parameters. Energy consumption in the building also depends on the geographical and climatic conditions of the area and whether it is the season of the year or the time of day and night.

Non-load-bearing walls are a major source of energy loss in winter and heat generation in summer. Ordinary walls are made only of thicker and more traditional materials that do not have much effect on optimizing energy consumption, but walls that have thermal insulation in addition to traditional building materials have high thermal resistance, but in these walls the main problem occurs when Moisture penetrates into them and damages the insulation. The material of the building shell components has a great impact on its energy consumption. Moisture penetration into these walls will cause a lot of damage and in some cases damage or change the thermal insulation properties. With proper management, energy consumption in the building can be significantly reduced. Energy management means the correct and timely use of all possible energy resources, existing climatic and geographical conditions and, if necessary, improving the building shell as much as possible and modifying the consumption process. In some buildings, due to their energy consumption and deviation from standard conditions, it is necessary to study the energy consumption and conditions of the building more carefully and, if necessary, provide solutions to reduce the energy consumption of the building. In these cases, the energy audit is performed at the discretion of the building energy manager. Energy audit is one of the tools of energy management in buildings.
