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...
