Abstract
Appropriate selection of window is important task to reduce the building energy consumption. Calculating of window energy transfer is difficult and must be calculate with the computer simulation softwares. Therefore, simple software is necessary to estimate the window energy transfer and to compare the different window types without complex computer simulation. In this study, a new software (named as Panjare) has been prepared to calculate hourly window energy transfer and to select appropriate window in the building. Using this software, the window can be designed based on the minimum building energy consumption.
