#######General Introduction#######

This dataset contains data resulted from the simulation, perfromed during Nov 2020-Dec 2020,at Delft University of Technology, as part of Tiantian Du's PhD Thesis project.This part of work was published in a paper titled as Effect of space layouts on the energy performance of office buildings in three climates, with DOI: 10.1016/j.jobe.2021.102198.

It is being made public both to act as supplementary data for publications and the PhD
thesis of Tiantian Du and in order for other researchers to use this data in their own
work. This research project did not receive any grant. 

#######Purpose of the data#######
11 layouts were simulated for their energy demands, in order to identify the effect of space layout on building energy performance. Also sensitivity analysis was run for the same 11 layouts, with different WWRs and U values. 

#######Test equipment#######
The daylighting simulation was run in Daysim, the energy simulation was run in EnergyPlus. The simulation tools were operated with the plugins of Ladybug and Honeybee for Grasshopper. 


#######Description of the data in this data set#######
One file contains the results for the layouts with 40% WWR. One file contains the results for the layouts with 20% WWR, 60% WWR, and changed U values.  

The data included in this data set has been organised per specimen. The files follow the
nomenclature system: Sp_X_Data_analysis_Y with
X = the specimen number 1 to 56
Y = indicating the number of runs with the same specimen.
