Analysis Of Energy Consumption Pattern in Regenerative Architecture of Positive Office Buildings

Abstract

The construction and building industry is widely recognized as a major contributor to the world's pressing challenges. This is especially evident in rapidly urbanizing and industrializing countries like India, where a significant portion of buildings are constructed with a focus on immediate needs, often neglecting environmental considerations, ecological impacts, and the occupants' requirements. Regenerative design holds immense promise in ushering in a new era of sustainable and positively impactful architecture. It has generated substantial enthusiasm among architects, builders, and their clients. Currently, there are no green buildings that effectively mitigate environmental energy consumption. Given this context, realizing the full professional and scientific potential of regenerative architecture necessitates the development of a comprehensive design framework to guide practitioners throughout the entire project lifecycle, from design and construction to operation. This article, study how to overcome the obstacles of regenerative design in the context of energy consumption benchmarks. Initially, the article examines patterns of energy consumption in existing NZEB, NNZEB, energy-positive buildings and benchmarks of energy-positive buildings. To achieve net-zero energy structures, buildings must increase their energy efficiency, reduce site energy consumption, and have renewable energy installations installed on them. Identify design parameters that support a regenerative design approach in the built environment. This performance standard finds its values in the form of a table of their assessments, such as building envelopes and solar panel efficiency. The article uses Net Present Value (NPV) analysis to identify a link between the value of different design parameters and energy demand indexes, together with the life cycle of each design component, to research Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) in Regenerative Design. Finally, using various strategies/ Benchmarks and creating various scenarios, analyze ways and technology to determine how much energy is regenerative. As a result, develop an assessment multi-step methodology for regenerative design methods in various contexts. This section presents the results obtained from energy simulations of the studied building conducted using the Design Builder software. The initial part of the simulation focuses on the baseline scenario. Subsequently, the study explores the influence of each energy consumption pattern and conducts a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to compare solutions for the case study building.
