Energy Efficiency Analysis for a High Rise Office Building in Indian Hot and Dry Climate by Equest

Building Simulation is widely used for understanding how a building consumes energy and before to construct the building can analyze the performance and whole building energy consumption in different space area of building also for assessing design strategies aimed at improving energy efficiency of entire building. The present research study uses eQuest, popular simulation software. eQuest is an easy to use building energy analysis tool combining a building creation wizard, an energy efficiency measure wizard and a graphical result display module with an enhanced DOE-2.1 derived building energy simulation program. This paper is based on a case study of a commercial building have a total build-up area including four floor which contains training and seminar rooms, conference rooms, open offices, server/utility spaces approximately 1,10,448 ft2. is located in MAHINDRA SEZ, JAIPUR. All Proposed HVAC systems and related parameters, such as equipment capacities, efficiencies, airflows, fans, etc. Have been modelled as designed and are consistent with energy model reflects the architectural, lighting and HVAC parameters as consistent with the relevant plans. The base-case building is simulated with actual orientation and again after rotating the entire Building by 90, 180 & 270 Degree and then averaging the results to get the Base-case Energy consumption. The energy performance has to be quantified and compared to a Base-case Building that complies with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010.After compare to proposed case and base case the building achieving 38.4 % of energy savings in entire one year.
