Abstract
The running cost of residential buildings could be one of the important tools that can support the concept of the Affordable Housing. This is because residential buildings consume almost 50% of total produced electricity in the kingdom. Several studies has shown that heat gains through external envelope can reach up to 75% of the total heat loads of the building. Therefore, saving energy in buildings can start from the external envelope and its components such as form, orientation, material and the fenestrations. This paper aims to investigate the effect of glazing openings on energy consumption in residential buildings in Saudi Arabia.
