A Novel Validated Method to Determine the Relationship Between Insulation Thickness and the Annual Cooling Cost in Desert Climates

A Novel Validated Method to Determine the Relationship Between Insulation Thickness and the Annual Cooling Cost in Desert Climates

Energy-efficient building envelope design is essential for minimizing cooling loads and reducing energy consumption, particularly in hot desert climates. This study presents a model that optimizes insulation thickness by taking into account climate-specific conditions and economic factors. The model...
