Façade Geometry, Orientation, and Window-to-Wall Ratio: An integrated Energy and Daylight performance study for Kathmandu’s temperate climate

Journal of Daylighting
Window-to-Wall Ratio (WWR) influences building energy and daylight performance, yet its implications depend on both façade orientation and geometry. In rapidly urbanizing regions lacking energy regulations, WWR decisions are often made without systematic

Early-Stage Thermal Risk Diagnosis in High-Altitude Andean Residential Buildings: An Exploratory Envelope-Based Alert Matrix and Post-Simulation Discomfort Ratio

Buildings
High-altitude Andean climates present dual thermal pressure: daytime overheating risk coexists with nighttime heat loss within the same annual cycle. Aggregate energy indicators do not reveal the direction of thermal discomfort, limiting their utility ...
