Abstract
Improving building energy performance with minimum emission and cost is important for zero-carbon strategies. In this regard, this study mainly focuses on the envelope of an apartment block. The aim is to investigate the tripartite relationship between energy performance, CO2 emission, and cost by using different wall and roof insulation materials, and various glazing types in a typical reinforced concrete five-floor apartment block in Istanbul, Turkey. In a building performance simulation tool - Cove. Tool, material alternatives’ impacts on energy use, cost, and CO2 emission are calculated. Consequently, 32 different design bundles are generated. Finally, the most advantageous material combination is explored from the design combinations to make cost-conscious, performance-driven, and environmental- friendly decisions.
