Title: Envelope parameters, their effect on high-rise buildings
Abstract: Makeup of the exterior envelope of a high-rise building - walls, insulation, glass, mass - greatly affects both peak and total structure energy usages. The influence of a well-designed building envelope on energy conservation is considered and the effects of envelope parameters on high-rise building energy use and costs are addressed. A general guideline for the building design team is given. By knowing the ramifications of certain design decisions, a design team can effectively plan a useful and energy-efficient building.
