This paper examined four different buildings’ footprint aspect ratios and two orientations in order to investigate the sensitivity of site layout planning characteristics on the energy consumption of high-rise office buildings in four different climate regions. The results suggest that design strategies to maximize passive thermal conditioning and daylighting do little to reduce the load profiles of high-rise office buildings built to current energy codes.
