Abstract :
The building energy consumption has
increased over the past decade due largely to population
growth, increased average temperatures and more
frequent extreme weather events as a result of the
influence of human activities on climate change. There is
increased pressure on maintaining a comfortable
environment for building occupants while minimizing
building energy use. This study attempts to quantify the
building energy savings potentials using the concept of
near zero energy building (NZEB) protocol by validating
model of building through the collection of real data for
existing buildings using DESIGNBUILDER
SOFTWARE version 6.1.8.021 simulation tool to
evaluate energy performance of a prototype building.
The Design Builder model building performance and
energy consumption were validated using real data from
the case study, from the results, energy consumed by the
building in the dry season
