ABSTRACT Buildings account for over 34% of global energy consumption and up to one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. In Jordan, existing residential buildings make up 80% of the building stock and consume 44% of national electricity, primarily for indoor thermal comfort. However, their thermal performance remains poorly understood, hindering effective retrofitting.
