dc.description.abstractThis research was guided to identify various vital contributions and beneficial impacts of innovative energy-saving methods and modern energy-efficient approaches to minimize excessive energy consumption in facilities based on other evaluation methods that were not employed greatly or addressed broadly in the current literature, namely MATLAB and Python Simulation processes. To achieve the goal of this article, a case study was considered and analyzed, representing a building in Turkey (240 m2) with significant cooling demands requiring to be optimized and mitigated, helping provide a zero-energy consumption facility that relies only on passive cooling techniques and thermal insulation materials. Simulations and optimization procedures were adopted to explore critical gains of energy-saving mechanisms using Python and MATLAB. According to the numerical research outcomes and simulation work, the research revealed that utilizing modern and practical energy-saving approaches could reduce harmful relative humidity values from 60.4% to 25.1%, corresponding to active prevention of mold, mildew, and microbes. Also, the overall internal temperature declined from 29.8 ºC to 21.3 ºC, and cooling load reduction from 216.8 kW to 99.5 kW, before and after implementing functional energy efficiency solutions, respectively. Furthermore, it was determined that deploying those novel energy-saving technologies, passive cooling and heating, and functional insulation materials would reduce the overall annual budget needed for cooling requirements from 103.1 USD to 49.7 USD. These aspects, in turn, could fulfill beneficial thermal comfort and alleviate the yearly generation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and make this facility more ecologically friendly and sustainable.
