The height of the ceiling areas is 3-4 metres; however some tenants prefer just to paint the concrete slab and have exposed installations (see figure 7.20). Preliminary Modelling of the building block scenarios in HAP Scenario 1: The first position of the building with a rectangular floor plan is with a north–south orientation in its longer facades (more details in Appendix A). The result shows that the building will require 1,248 tons of refrigeration, which is equivalent to 15,833.4274 joules/hour (see figure 7.21). Figure 7.21 Modelling of scenario 1 in HAP: 1,207 tons of refrigeration (screenshot). Scenario 2: The second scenario has a square floor with a north–south orientation in two of its sides. The result shows that the building will require 1,207 tons of refrigeration, which is equal to 15,314.2887 joules/hour. Scenario 3: Prototype 3 has a circular shape with a northward orientation. The result shows that the building will require 1,149 tons of refrigeration, which is equal to 15,339.6125 joules/hour. 7.8 presents the results of the primary OE modelling in HAP.
