Environmental performance of patient rooms using an integrated approach considering operational energy, daylight and comfort analysis

What is it about?

This study presents a comprehensive building-integrated environmental analysis that considers the multiple functionalities of windows by incorporating dynamic energy analysis, comfort, and daylighting performance with a life cycle assessment study. The aim is to holistically assess the environmental performance of windows and to understand how their design and characteristics contribute to the overall performance of the building/space. The embodied impacts of different building elements and the influence of various design parameters on environmental performance are assessed and compared. The environmental costs are expressed in euros, which makes it easier to understand and compare the LCA results.
