Simulation of Building Energy Consumption for Different Design Features of Window Elements: Case Study in a Hot Climate Region

Energy consumption in buildings plays a significant role in the global energy demand. The European Union has promoted different regulatory directives in the framework of energy efficiency to develop the construction of buildings with nearly zero energy consumption. The main objective of this paper i...
