OBSERVATIONS

Option one

East/west orientation negates energy savings

Marginal improvement in North/south with 15m buikding depth

Reduction in floor levels with a norrow depth improves energy savings

North?south orientation coupled with Reduction in floor levels and a norrow depth improves energy savings.

OBSERVATIONS
Base case WWR
Increasing WWR leads to a decrease in energy saving
Lower WWR improves energy savings.
