Abstract

The great incidence that glazing has in a building energy conservation makes it one of the most important parameters to be taken into account especially in commercial buildings, where the surface occupied by glass areas is very important. So, different shapes of glass areas and their influence in the energy consumption of a commercial building are studied in this paper. Horizontal glazing (with different heights) and vertical glazing (with the same area as the horizontal ones), separated by opaque areas are considered in a base case building. A traditional wall and a curtain-wall are considered, and the different annual consumptions per conditions unit surface, both in winter and summer, are obtained.
