Abstract The research in this thesis addresses the topic of energy consumption in residential buildings in Egypt. This topic represents a considerable section of the total electric energy generated by the electric power stations. A residential building consists of three floors and six apartments of 100 m^2floor area for each apartment; this building has been drawn by software called 2Design-builder3 that also calculate the cooling load and the heating load for the left house on the 3rd floor (typical floor) on two cases; one with thermal insulation in the walls and the roof and the other without thermal insulation. This research illustrates by using 2Design-builder3 software three comparisons between the sensible cooling load, air-conditioner energy consumption rate, cost of the energy consumed and the CO2 produced by power plant, due to the energy consumed on the two cases (with thermal insulation and without), at three different room temperatures |
