@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10002403, title = {A Comparative Case Study of the Impact of Square and Yurt-Shape Buildings on Energy Efficiency}, author = {Valeriya Tyo and Serikbolat Yessengabulov}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Regions with extreme climate conditions such as Astana city require energy saving measures to increase energy performance of buildings which are responsible for more than 40% of total energy consumption. Identification of optimal building geometry is one of key factors to be considered. Architectural form of a building has impact on space heating and cooling energy use, however the interrelationship between the geometry and resultant energy use is not always readily apparent. This paper presents a comparative case study of two prototypical buildings with compact building shape to assess its impact on energy performance.}, journal = {International Journal of Environmental and Ecological Engineering}, volume = {9}, number = {10}, year = {2015}, pages = {1214 - 1217}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10002403}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/106}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 106, 2015}, }
