 Insulation Materials
- Modeling of different insulation materials with
several U- Values.

- Modeling of Insulation effect on roof + wall.

- Optimum U-Values (after certain point the

decrease of U-Value will not show significant
performance enhancement).

 Modeling Considerations &
Assumptions
Assumption
Number of Operation Days/ Year 365 (Full Year)
Number of Hours HVAC is ON 24 Hours
Number of Hours Lighting is ON 15 Hours
HVAC System Set Point 23 C
Number of Hours Exterior Lights ON 9 Hours

- Other required assumptions such as: infiltration, air tightness, occupancy,

HVAC Efficiency were assumed to be according to ASHRAE 90.1 standards
(eQuest Defaults)
 Current Situation at the Villa (Original Building):

- U-Value of Buildings’ Walls (current)= 0.71 W/ m2 K.

- U-Value of Buildings’ Roofs (current)= 0.356 W/ m2 K.
- U- Value of Glazing (Double Glass) (current)= 2.7 W/ m2 K.
- Split AC units are used to cool the building (Ducted+ Direct)

Results (Original Building Design):

Application Electricity Consum. / Year (KWh)
HVAC 21,520
Lighting (Interior+ Exterior) 11,960
Domestic Hot Water 5,190
Other Electrical Eq. 8,410
TOTAL
47,080
Proposed Solution NO. 1:
- In this trial we changed wall U- Value from 0.71 W/ m2 K, to 0.32 W/ m2 K.
- Everything else remained the same.

 Proposed Solution NO. 2:
Here we will change both U- Value of Walls + U- Value of Roof as follows:

U- Value of Walls= 0.32 W/ m2 K

U- Value of Roof= 0.2839 W/ m2 K

 Proposed Solution NO. 3:
• Here we will change both U- Value of Walls + U- Value of Roof + We Will Add Shadings to the
windows as follows:
U- Value of Walls= 0.32 W/ m2 K
U- Value of Roof= 0.2839 W/ m2 K
