Glazing can be a good alternative of reducing excessive load of heating and cooling especially in office buildings with high WWR(Window Wall Ratio). In this study, Window 6.0 program developed in LBNL was used to analyze the glazing and EnergyPlus 6.0 developed in DOE was used to predict heating, cooling load. 12 cases of glazing were used selectively including double low-emissivity glazing, double tinted glazing, double reflective glazing, and triple glazing. The results show that the savings of heating and cooling load due to an application of various glazing types with 8 orientations would be up to about 35% compared to double clear glazing in annual period.Read More
