Özet:

 

This study investigated effective ways of minimizing the  amount of energy used for heating and cooling caused by windows in the  building envelope.  The use of glass material in windows is discussed  in terms of reducing heating and cooling energy consumption.  The  hourly total heating and cooling energy calculations were carried out  for the 1st, 11th, and 21st days of each month using the  previous 10-year period's meteorological data for Elazığ.  Energy  loads of windows were estimated using a computer program written in  MATLAB. Energy requirements of different building facade examples  caused by window glass were evaluated and the optimum facades  determined among different alternatives.  In conclusion, OR1/1 (square  formed) buildings have the minimum heating and cooling requirements.   Among 5 different glass alternatives, xenon filled double glass units  require 33%-82% less heating and cooling energy than the others.
