This study presents an analysis of the impacts of climate change on thermal comfort and
energy performance of residential buildings in Ghana, in sub-Saharan Africa, and explores …

Adaptive comfort considerations and passive design are crucial in tropical, hot and humid
climates where the straightforward response to discomfort in this climate, such as in Ghana …

Most office buildings in the warm‐humid sub‐Saharan countries experience high cooling
load because of the predominant use of sandcrete blocks which are of low thermal mass in …

Dehumidification in buildings remains a dominant contributor to cooling load in hot-humid
climate zone irrespective of the cooling technology used, thus consuming much energy and …

Purpose Given the climatic context and economic challenge of Ghana in its developmental
strides, energy use of office buildings continues to be a task on the economy. Therefore, the …

Climate change significantly impacts building performance. Indoor comfort, energy demand,
carbon emissions, and building maintenance costs vary according to the local climate. This …
