Abstract
Growing environmental awareness has placed biodiesel production from jatropha at the centre of debates concerning high-rise buildings. The study integrates Taguchi design of experiments with conventional analysis to improve accuracy in high-rise buildings. The proposed method reduces the error by about 39% compared with the conventional approach. The method shows clear promise for wider application beyond the cases examined here.
