Analysis of the rule of window-to-wall ratio on energy demand of residential buildings in different locations in China [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Building energy demands are influenced by the window-to-wall ratio (WWR). The impact of the WWR on the energy demand in the same area has been researched by software. However, the impact of the WWR on the energy demand of buildings in different locations

Environment-Behaviour Proceedings Journal, 2020 Sustainable aspects of buildings became one of the most crucial aspects of the built environment. The thermal performance can be improved through sustainable design guidelines and, thus, reduce energy consumption. This review covered studies that addressed Window Wall Ratio (WWR) and Window Orientation (WO) and their effect on thermal performance.

Optimization of energy transmittance through building envelope for hot dry climate
Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2022 Fenestrations of the buildings are playing an important role in the building's energy efficiency for the tropical climate. The energy that comes from the glass window into the building can be restricted by providing shading on the windows. So, to provide
