Abstract
This study examines the design of a commercial and office center near the Abali ski resort, developed by a specialized team to meet the needs of athletes at the site. Given the cold and mountainous climate, the design emphasizes energy efficiency by incorporating a significant amount of glass in the facade to maximize the view. To regulate light and temperature, shading devices were considered. The design was analyzed for energy efficiency using Ladybug and Honeybee software, with simulations conducted to determine the optimal orientation of the shading devices. This research introduces a novel approach to optimizing shading devices using advanced simulation tools, tailored to the specific climatic conditions of the Abali resort.
