The Effect of Smart Low Emission Glass Material on Reducing Energy Consumption for Office Building in Hot Arid Climate

There were massive innovations in the field of buildings materials at the beginning of the new millennium especially in the field of smart materials. There were many literatures that searched on the role of the smart materials on reduce energy consumption for buildings. This research problem that there was no obvious studies about the effect of smart low emission glass material on reducing energy consumption for office buildings in Baghdad city as an example for hot aired climate cities. Software simulations were used to comparatively estimate the energy performance model for an office building (Baghdad University office tower) after replace the glass of windows with low emission glass. The results showed that reduce of energy consumption reached to 11% as compared to typical type of glass materials.
