Analyzing different countries around the globe, including India, the research explores regulation types, code structures, and the effectiveness of regulations in altering energy consumption instances. Specific attention is given to Indian initiatives such as the NBC, ECBC, modified LEED homes, and GRIHA for residential buildings, Eco Niwas Samhita. The investigation identifies key parameters crucial for enhancing energy efficiency, encompassing building envelope, climatic and site conditions, and building materials. Recommendations include integrating these practices, in addition to passive design concepts, into existing building codes and regulations, contributing to the establishment of energy-efficient residential buildings. The study's outcomes have broad applicability, offering valuable insights for global locations grappling with absent or ineffective energy regulations.

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of heat gain on the building envelope in residential buildings, with a specific focus on the influence of building orientation and built area configurations. The study investigates the influence of building orientation and built area on heat gain using a comprehensive dataset comprising 16 different cases. Four orientations (NS, EW, NESW, SENW) and four built areas (A, B, C, D) were analyzed using RHAVC software to assess their impact on thermal behavior. A One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is employed to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in heat gain among the different orientations and built areas. Descriptive statistics and assumption checks were conducted to ensure the validity of the analysis. The results reveal that building orientation is not a significant factor affecting heat gain, while built area configurations play a crucial role. Larger built areas, with varying proportions of windows, walls, and roof-to-floor area ratios, exhibit significant differences in heat gain. Later the regression analysis is applied which provided a reliable means to predict heat gain for larger built areas. The study enhances the understanding of heat gain in residential buildings and supports sustainable building practices to achieve comfortable and eco-friendly living environments.
