Enhancing the cooling system of a residential building using integrated building information modelling with solar absorption system

Building energy management is concerned with the energy consumption of the building. The used electricity in the residential building has the highest percentage when applying HVAC systems among all other building services installations and other electric appliances. For that, the present work focuse...
