Relation between energy efficient glasses and energy expenditures in buildings
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aimed to examine the type and the effect of the energy performance of buildings, using the case of Antalya –based apartment complex, which is located in the Mediterranean Climate Region and classified in the 1st Degree Day Region according to TS 825 Standards. Energy efficiency on transparent surfaces in the base buildings made of 3 blocks selected was studied considering the location, orientation, facade lengths, window/wall area ratio of the buildings. As a result of the analysis made on the energy consumption values of the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, it has been seen that the window glass-lined system (coated glass) with the combination of "4mm+16+4mm+16+4mm" and using argon gas as the filling material between window glasses is the optimal scenario for the Mediterranean Climate Region. By applying the best possible scenario to the base buildings, annual energy savings can reach change depending on the type of combustible used in the buildings.
Keywords: Building energy simulation; cost analysis; energy efficiency; energy-efficient design; window.
