Comparative Analysis of the Thermal Performance of a Traditional and a Contemporary House: A Case Study of Abbottabad City

Abstract

    Due to the energy crisis and the high cost of building construction, the thermal efficiency of buildings is a matter of most concern nowadays. Different strategies, including design development, construction materials, and the installation of active systems inside the structures, may be used to address the thermal performance of the buildings. This study examines the thermal efficiency of both traditional and modern homes in Abbottabad, Pakistan, using energy-efficient design principles and construction techniques. Field surveys, interviews, and author analysis were used to collect the data. The case study buildings were chosen from among the city's typical passively cooled and air- conditioned structures. The study came to the conclusion that modern structures can use the solar passive feature used in traditional ones.
