I’m glad to share our latest paper on circular economy published by prestigious journal of Energy from Elsevier.
This study investigates the integration of circular economy (CE) principles to enhance thermal comfort and reduce CO2 equivalent emissions in residential buildings in Iran from 2021 to 2022.
The optimal configuration achieved a thermal comfort index of 64.13 % with a window-to-wall ratio (WWR) of 50 %, minimum U-value (WLC1 and WID1), and shading dimensions of 0.3 m and 4 for DSH and NSH, respectively. These findings show that the proposed ANN model is effective in predicting CO2 equivalent emissions and guiding CE-based design strategies. The study provides actionable insights for reducing carbon emissions through CE principles, supporting contractors, homebuyers, and policymakers in advancing sustainable construction practices.
I would like to appreciate Omid and Milad for their cooperation and endeavours.
