Window-to-Wall Ratio Optimization to Save Energy in Housing Projects in Bahrain

Conducting energy consumption of a design during the initial phases of architectural design has become vital for achieving sustainability. The research paper explores the energy usage in different settings of window-to-wall ratio (WWR). Three villas of a housing project in Bahrain are employed as case studies to investigate energy analysis. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the case studies' energy analysis are conducted for different façade orientations. The research paper concludes to form basis to improve energy analysis through applying WWR in similar context and environment.
