Abstract: This Research paper mainly focuses on the impact of fenestration design alternatives on the building energy consumption through an extensive simulation process using OpenStudio interface of EnergyPlus program. A medium size office building model was created as a case study. A variety of different scenarios for window to wall ratio WWR"
Keywords: Alexandria and Aswan" located in 3 different climate zones. Cooling loads were reduced in some cases by more than 40% while total Building energy dropped by around 26% in some cases. This research can help designers optimize the energy performance of the building by making few changes to the building architectural envelope and its shading system."
