Simulations  were used to appraise the comfort conditions using  various environmental and physical parameters based  on daily average, the hottest day, hottest month  and annual average. The existing  uninsulated\/ unshaded spaces produced the worst results.  Improvements were gradually superimposed on the base  case to create better internal conditions. These  results were processed to obtain Kelvin-hours of  overheating for naturally ventilated spaces and kWh  cumulative load for air conditioned spaces. The  results showed low energy strategies i.e., natural  ventilation, shading, insulation, orientation,  design layout, location of floors, materials, etc.  could reduce thermal stress and energy consumption.  On an average day, comfort can be achieved using  natural ventilation. For the hottest day, comfort  can be achieved with the aid of fans for most of the  day. For air conditioned spaces, energy used can be  reduced through shading, insulation, orientation,  higher set point temperature and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838329659\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCase study of Urban Multistorey Residential Buildings in Malaysia\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838329659","offer_id":39499046289501,"sku":"9783838329659","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9ec09b2f-a34b-433b-a43b-bbba2fd677ee.jpg?v=1768892323","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/thermal-comfort-and-energy-performance-von-sabarinah-sh-ahmad","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
