Description
Summary:According to the literature, in developed and developing countries it constitutes about 40% of the total energy consumption [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. Residential buildings are responsible for a major part of the energy consumption of the building sector [9]. [...]as energy consumption is rapidly increasing due to the population growth, urbanization and industrialization, energy conservation in buildings has become an important part of national energy strategies in multiple countries [10]. [...]in summer, the outdoor night temperature being lower than the required indoor temperature, uninsulated walls allow leading to the reduction of air-conditioning need [29]. [...]in climates where both heating and cooling throughout the year are required, the optimization of the design parameters in buildings should take into account the cost of both heating and cooling. [...]in this case energy savings were obtained at the expense of deteriorated indoor air quality.
