Parametric analysis of alternative energy conservation measures in an office building in hot and humid climate

The aim of that paper was to investigate the impact of alternative energy conservation measures on energy requirements in office buildings in hot-humid climates. Different types of HVAC systems were selected and tested in a five-story office building in Saudi Arabia, and different feasible and practical operational energy conservation measures were evaluated using the energy simulation software of Visual DOE 4.0. Conclusions and recommendations are presented.
