Presentation / Conference
Geekiyanage, D., & Ramachandra, T. (2017, November). A Correlation Analysis of Factors Influencing Cooling Energy Demand of Condominiums in Sri Lanka. Paper presented at Vidulka National Energy Symposium, Colombo, Sri Lanka

Often, energy use for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning is the key contributor to operational energy demand which varies between 50-70% in most of the developed countries. Surprisingly, in Sri Lanka, the energy consumption of space cooling ac... Read More about A Correlation Analysis of Factors Influencing Cooling Energy Demand of Condominiums in Sri Lanka.

A morphology-based model for forecasting cooling energy demand of condominium buildings in Sri Lanka (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Hemba Geekiyanage, M., Ramachandra, T., & Rotimi, J. (2017, September). A morphology-based model for forecasting cooling energy demand of condominium buildings in Sri Lanka. Presented at Association of Researchers in Construction Management, ARCOM - 33rd Annual Conference 2017, Proceeding, Cambridge, UK

Building morphology has significant influence on operational energy demand of buildings. Energy consumption for space cooling accounts for more than 75% of electricity use in typical condominium buildings. With increase in the number of condominiums...
