Thermal Performance of the Building Envelope
This involves a strategic selection of building materials based on their thermal properties and performance . Designers must adopt a multi-scale approach , evaluating the thermal performance of individual envelope components and optimizing the overall energy efficiency of the building .
The building envelope comprises elements such as walls, roofs, windows, and doors, with insulation materials integrated within these structural components to enhance thermal performance and energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is heavily influenced by the envelope's ability to manage thermal transfer, moisture, and air infiltration [97].
