I need a skilled DesignBuilder practitioner to compare the thermal performance of single- versus double-glazing on the Western and Southern façade of a two-storey office building located in Windhoek, Namibia. I will supply the building geometry, façade dimensions, local double-glazing specifications, occupancy schedules, and a climate file. Please set up the model with custom HVAC parameters that reflect local requirements rather than generic office defaults.

Your analysis must quantify:
• Annual cooling energy demand
• Peak cooling load reduction
• Resulting thermal comfort impacts (e.g., PMV/PPD or equivalent indices)

When the simulation is complete, deliver two things:
1. A PDF/Excel report that includes both an executive-level summary with clear charts and a full set of detailed data tables.
2. The native DesignBuilder project folder together with the exported EnergyPlus files so I can audit and extend the work later.

I expect the whole task can be wrapped up in roughly 8–12 hours once you have the inputs. If anything about the model setup is unclear—especially the HVAC assumptions—let me know before you run the final simulations so we stay aligned.
