Thermal performance and energy consumption analysis of retail buildings through daylighting: A numerical model with experimental validation

The simultaneous impact of a building's electricity consumption and thermal performance is analyzed in this paper by taking a thermal model of a retail building located in Ranchi, India. A Baseline design of retail building having a rectangular footprint area is compared with four buildings wit...
