Regression models to assess the thermal performance of Brazilian low-cost houses: consideration of opaque envelope

This study examines the potential to conduct building thermal performance simulation (BPS) of unconditioned low-cost housing during the early design stages. By creating a set of regression models (meta-models) based on EnergyPlus simulations, this research aims to promote and simplify BPS in the...
