Abstract of an artice Hi It is an abstract of an article written by my self. what's your idea about it? Does it have any grammatical errors? One of the most effective methods to reduce energy loss through the building envelope is to optimize the thermal performance, area and localization of the transparent components in the facade in order to obtain minimal heat losses and optimal solar gains. When considering the thermal performance of these transparent components, one should consider, not only heat loss (or gains) caused by thermal transmission, but also the beneficial effects of incident solar radiation and hence reduced demand for heating and artificial lighting. Design of efﬁcient fenestration is one of the several design approaches that has potential to reduce energy consumption in commercial buildings. In this study, the influence of using single glazed, simple double glazed (air filled) and double glazed with low-e coating (argon filled) on optimized window dimensions and layout in an office room have been investigated by means of simulations with EnergyPlus software. Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing Algorithm were used to determine the optimal size and layout the windows. The simulated office room was located in Shiraz, Iran. The results of optimization reveal that the areas of the fenestration in all cases and directions (north, east, west and south) are small compare with the area of the facade (the range of window-to-wall ratios are: 0.064-0.18). In consequent, using different kinds of glazing, has not a marked influence on building energy consumption in clouding lighting, heating and cooling .In other words, the energy consumption with simple double glazed window and double glazed with low-e coating don't decrease substantially (in the range: 4-10%) compared to single glazed window if dimensions are optimized. The results show that using double glazed window with low-e coating on the north facade of the building has the most effect on saving energy (10%) when total energy consumption is considered. When only heating energy consumption is considered then the saving is up to 16% of required energy for heating depending on the glazing type and room orientation. In addition, results showed that changing the type of optimum glazing from single to double and low-e will reduce the required heating load and lighting in both heating and cooling seasons, however, the cooling load will increase during the heating seasons.

Abstract of an artice

Hi
It is an abstract of an article written by myself. What's your idea about it? (Perhaps you could say, "What do you think about it?") Does it have any grammatical errors?
