摘要: When incorrectly designed, windows can be responsible for unnecessary energy consumption in a building. This may result from its dimensions, orientation and shadowing. In moderate climate like the Portuguese, considering an annual thermal comfort assessment of space, if are under-dimensioned or over-shadowed, they contribute to increase heating needs. However, when over-dimensioned under-shadowed, cooling requirements. Therefore, it is important find optimum design that balances orientation, dimension shadowing, contributing minimize both study presents parametric analysis double glazing window dimension, located Portuguese city Coimbra. For each overhang depth determined. The objective degree-hours discomfort. Results show overhangs mainly corrective mechanism openings, thus allowing building practitioners choose wider range dimensions.
