Reviewer 2 Report
1. Page 4, figure 2, overlapping annotation text makes it difficult to see the content clearly.
2. Page 5, line 163, the average temperature is 31.2 ℃, but an equivalent thermal conductivity of 30 ℃ is used. The error between the two and its impact on subsequent results should be explained.。
3. Page 13, Figure 10 can include data on benchmark building energy consumption, showing the changes in Scheme 1.
4. Is the solution provided in the article universally applicable? Can the same effect be achieved under other buildings in the same climate zone?

Reviewer 3 Report
line 161 average temperature is 31.60C, not 31.20C
line 163 change with uppercase letter for Kelvin
line 169 explain the meaning of “outbound temperature”
line 180 measurement units
line 226 correct the units for fluid density
line 227 correct units for heat transfer coefficient
line 293-294 correct units
Please explain why is necessary to rotate the office building? Why you don’t consider the real orientation of the building?
Why do you have different energy consumption values for lightning, cooling and heating for 900, 1800 and 2700?
line 331 change words “plan three” with “scheme three”. In this case the office building orientation did not affect the roof orientation. Did you use the same roof orientation for different building orientation?
line 343 unit for Area
I recommend to use for energy consumption the real orientation for office building.
