Hi Sitha,

I mean you are trying to analyse the WWR based analysis on different
facades.
Try configuring out different percentages of glazing percentage of the wall
on different facades and analyse it.
If one has to get the same overall load then one can increase equipment or
lighting load by iterating it.
For purpose you can have different WWR on different facades.
As per me in Northern hemisphere of the globe one can get the best as
facade as North west which can have the best  varying WWR and South or
south west as worst facade which can have least varying WWR.
For reference you can have a look at the GRIHA guideline volume-3 as it has
that section which has window glazing and WWR based insolation and other
discussions.

So as per me if you have to take least amount of WWR then choose south-west.

Hello everyone,

I have been doing an academic project where i am trying to find out the
best percentage of facade glazing which results in optimal energy
consumption in IT office building.

Is there a possibility of doing parametric studies pertaining to change in
facade glazing percentage or lets say WWR.

I tried a floor plan with three different types of glasses and different
percentages.
But as i reduce the facade percentage from 100% to 30%  the energy
consumption report says that there is reduction in energy consumption.but
There is no difference in lighting loads . the only change in the report is
for space cooling. The reduction in the glazing definitely results in
increase in lighting loads in a fully conditioned office building.

This is not being projected in the results.could some one help me on how to
proceed in this regard.

Thanking you,
