Analysis and Comparance of Wall to Window Ratio of Residential Buildings Based on Period of Construction in Kosovo
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
One of the forms of sustainable construction is to increase energy efficiency in residential buildings. Improving energy efficiency in buildings leads to reduced energy consumption, which in turn contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The purpose of this paper is the research and analysis of residential buildings in Kosovo in terms of energy efficiency, avoidance and recovery of unnecessary thermal losses. The reason for selecting this building typology lies in the fact that in Kosovo over 40% of energy is used for households and this typology constitutes the largest percentage of energy losses, which is constantly increasing.
Considering from previous studies, among the main factors for energy loss of buildings is the wall-window ratio, so the aim of this paper is to find an adequate wall-window ratio, in order to increase the efficiency in buildings and increasing the level of comfort. For this reason, residential buildings were taken for study in different time periods, including the years '50 - '99 and 2000-2011. Each building will be analyzed on the basis of calculations and in the end we will come to a result regarding such a report.
