The use of efficient building design strategies at the inception of the building project helps to improve the overall building energy performance. This paper focuses on the effect of aspect ratio of the floor plan on the energy performance of a building to reduce the energy demand of the office buildings. The other factors deciding energy performance of a building, like orientation, floor area, floor height, floor number and window to wall ratio, have been kept constant. The simulation is performed in Design Builder software, and the energy consumptions at different assumed cases have been analysed using correlation and regression analysis technique, thoroughly to find the optimum solution. The findings of this research will be useful in providing solutions for the reduction of energy demand of the office buildings in the study area.
