Energy Saving by Double Electrochromic Glazing- A Case Study for Central Library MUET, Jamshoro, Pakistan

In this paper, Double Electrochromic Glazing technology for energy saving has been discussed. A case study of Central Library of Mehran University of Engineering Science and Technology Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan has been analyzed for the retrofitting of simple installed glass with Double Electrochromic glazing. Energy savings due to Double Electrochromic glazing has been critically analyzed. Moreover, the Floor to Window area ratio has been computed which is 2.43:1 for the retrofitting. The load calculations of cooling equipments for yearly basis have been comparatively analyzed before and after the use of glazing technology. Temperature at various intervals has been noted. After that eQUEST Software is used for energy simulation which resulted in saving of 8% of total Electrical Power (only air conditioning load). The study could help the investors in maximizing the profit by reducing the load of cooling equipments in building sector. Furthermore concern towards double electrochromic glazing minimizes the pollution by lowering the Electricity consumption.
