Average EU unit: 162kWh/m Average cost :
Rs.6500000

Therefore ,we can conclude that double glazing 50

percent glazing façade is optimum solution for façade as it is
less can than average 134kWh/m2 < 162kWh/m2.

The lowest value is still triple glazing50 percent

glazing (114kWh/m2 <134kW/m2) but considering cost
factor double glazing unit is considerable.

In india the most part, the country has a tropical

climate which throughout most of the interior is a mixture of
wet and dry tropical weather, so 100 percent glazing façade
is soluble.
