THE EFFECTS OF LOW-E WINDOW GLASS OF BUILDING ON REDUCING CO2 AND ENERGY SAVING IN DUHOK, IRAQ

Abstract

Nowadays Energy is the main crises in the world due to high demand load of energy for all sector of modern live using smart materials such as Low-E Window glass is most suitable solution for rationalizing energy and reducing the amount of Co2 emission into our environment. Low-E Window can be a large portion of solution since it has a great role in consuming energy and directly related to the amount of Co2 emission. In this research measurement were taken to compare the amount energy consumed in Low-E glass window with ordinary glass. The result showed there is a huge different between them. The result showed that the total difference in solar heat gain was 6246.12W which save 22798.33 kWh/year. The estimated reduction in CO2 was 16186.81 kg.CO2 /year or 16.186 ton.
