Effect of Green Roof and Insulation Layers on Energy Consumption in an Office Building and Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emission

In this paper, the influence of green roof and mineral fibre/wool – wool and air gap insulation layers have evaluated in order to assess how much energy would save in an office building. Nowadays by increasing energy consumption patterns in dwellings and the cost of energy in the world too, solutions have to take in order to tackle for certain problem might come true and prevent more waste energy through Inappropriate design. Moreover, climate conditions have an effective impact on indoor energy consumption, the dwellings should design in a way that is compatible with the environmental conditions and energy efficiency. One of the effective methods in the building is sustainable design so that a residential unit change to a place that able to save energy and also generate energy. In this study, we tried to analyze total energy consumption in the case of using some specific patterns which are common to decline with and without using such methods mentioned in an office building. A green roof is a part of a sustainable house that able to save a satisfactory amount of energy in the warm months. In addition, in this research mineral fibre/wool-wool and air gap Insulation layers are used in external walls in order to compare with the wall that has no specific insulation layers. Finally, we reached a conclusion as a reliable pattern at the end of these simulations that a significant amount of energy is saved. DesignBuilder software used to visualize our simulation and also present the statement for reducing CO2 in total which is derived carefully.
