Abstract: Most of the building codes for energy saving are focused on strengthening the insulation and airtightness of the building envelope. Insulation and air tightness of the building envelope reduces heat loss during the heating season, but can lead to overheating in the cooling season according to the building types owing to the internal heat gain levels.
