The windows can be responsible for unnecessary energy consumption in abuilding, if incorrectly designed, shadowed or oriented. Considering an annualthermal comfort assessment of a space, if windows are over-dimensioned, theycan contribute to the increase of the heating needs due to heat losses, andalso to the increase of cooling needs due to over-exposure to solar radiation.When under-dimensioned, the same space may benefit from reduced heat lossesthrough the glazing surface but does not benefit from solar radiation gains.Therefore, it is important to find the optimum design that minimizes both theheating and cooling needs. This paper presents a parametric study of windowtype (single, double and triple glazing), orientation and opening size, locatedin the city of Coimbra, Portugal. An annual and a seasonal assessment weredone, in order to obtain the set of optimum values around 360 degreeorientation.
