Five design conditions of lighting power density, climate, window orientation, internal gains, and building scale are examined in this investigation.
Mr. Cantor added that "the views out each window, orientation to the sun and the topography of the land figured in all of our design decisions".
The outdoor air supply rate, window height, solar heat gain coefficient, and window orientation were found to be the most important.
This study has been conducted to investigate the influence of window to wall ratio (WWR) and window orientation (WO) on cooling, heating and total energy consumption.
The results of the quantitative evaluation indicate that the lighting power density, climate, and window orientation significantly impact the optimal WWR configuration.
In this paper the effects of windows' U-value, window orientation and windows size on annual heating and cooling energy demand is studied considering the both energy and investment costs.
The study presented in this paper evaluated the role of geometry factors, such as window orientation, window to wall ratio, and room width to depth ratio, on building energy performance in a commercial office building.
Therefore, this article presents a simulation study to investigate the influence of window-to-wall ratio (WWR), wall reflectance, and window orientation on various daylight metrics and lighting energy demand in simple buildings located in the tropical climate.
The algorithm evaluates each possible transformation for several design variables in each floor plan, such as floor plan orientation and reflection, window orientation and size, overhang size, fin size, and wall translation.
In contrast, a moderate or smaller WWR default value should be carefully assigned according to the window orientation in zones 4 8 when the lighting efficiency improves (i.e., for a lighting power density of 5 W/m2).
