Previous research mainly focused on switchable glazing in high-rise residential building, the technical, economic, environmental, and comfort implications of new glazing technologies, the impact of thermal bridge of balcony slab on envelope, the effects of shape coefficient on envelope load and energy consumption, floorto-ceiling glazed areas impact on thermal resilience, assessing glazing type window-to-wall ratio, sun shading, and roof strategies for envelope design, climatically responsive design and microclimate interaction with envelope structure, infiltration and pressurizing in higher levels of building, investigating heat transfer through envelope components, examining the efficiency of light-weight and low energy dynamic insulation, air-tight cavity function, and low-E coating, efficient energy codes and insulation materials, analyzing double skin brick wall façade and thermal transmittance (U-value), the impact of location and surrounding, improving the envelope design parameters, optimizing plan layout, and taking advantage of natural ventilation to diminish heating and cooling energy demand and carbon emissions. Among the works investigated within the scope of this research, 60% of the studies (14 out of 23 studies) were related to the envelope of high-rise buildings while one was a review paper. This study shows that the building façade with air corridor also reduces energy consumption by 30% compared to the same sized buildings. It has been found that the building envelope designed with double-layered air corridor can offer the maximum level of residential comfort to the occupants. As a consequence of the simulation conducted according to the existing façade of the building, 25% of the energy is used for heating and 14% for cooling in total energy consumption. The energy consumption results were compared with the other study data in the literature. DesignBuilder program with the EnergyPlus simulation engine was used for energy analysis of the building. Turkey’s highest residential building from 2010 to 2017 was selected for the case building. The aim of this study is to show the importance of building envelope design in energy efficiency of high-rise residential buildings and to analyze the effect of the building envelope design on energy consumption. The energy consumption of these buildings is increasing depending on their high transparency ratio as a result of decrease in the thermal resistance of the façade. The building envelope, the most important element in the energy consumption of a building, gains more importance due to the large amount of the surface area of building’s façade in high-rise buildings.
