dc.description.abstract | The prime objective of this study is to investigate the
impact of design parameters on energy consumption in office
buildings. The study is restricted to office buildings
found in the Nairobi Central Business District. The
Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) has the highest
concentration of office buildings in Kenya. The study is
concerned about the impact of floor areas, shape, height,
perimeter, orientation, shading and extent of glazing on
energy consumption.
It is recognised that the above design parameters have (a)
significant effect(s) on energy consumption in office
buildings. These design parameters are the resultant
characteristics of the design solution provided by the
designer in response to various design requirements and
constraints. The effect of each of the design parameters
on energy consumption is disaggregated to show its relative
contribution to energy consumption in office buildings. | en |
