Abstract
In this work, 13 different solutions for the optimization of energy consumption of a building located in the tropical city of Bandar Abbas are studied out via the EnergyPlus and TRNSYS (Transient System Simulation Tool) commercial codes. Then, the suggested solutions are economically studied and the most economically viable ones are proposed. Ultimately, an energy efficient consumption scheme is put forward with the approach of solar energy utilization. Results reveal that 9 out of 13 studied solutions are techno-economically viable; and by implementing these solutionsthe energy consumption of the building could be decreased by 81% up to 165624.1 kWh as well as preventing 63022.66 kg of CO2 emission.
