Transient Simulation of Energy in a Terraced House Using TRNSYS

Economic and industrial development in Malaysia has led to an increasing demand of energy. Reduction of energy consumption in building is a major aim worldwide. In this study an attempt is made to help in understanding the energy flow within a terraced house, using the transient simulation technique and eventually, helping in reducing the energy needs of the house. Some major factors that influenced the energy flow in a terraced house are size and shape; thermo physical properties, window systems and orientation.
