Abstract:This research presents the findings of an experimental study probing the impact of façade opening design on energy consumption in offices in Egypt. This study aims to provide considerations and insights for architects and relevant professionals for designing office façades. This will be achieved through conducting a trial on a software design program with the aim of overcoming high energy costs and optimizing interior thermal comfort of occupants. The exploration builds upon former studies that stressed the si… Show more
