Investigates glazing systems' impact on energy performance in hot-arid climates, suggesting implications for building efficiency.

The aim is to optimize the thermal performance of building envelopes using advanced glazing solutions in hot-arid climates.
Conducted a literature review on glazing technologies.
Performed experimental tests using different glazing types in concrete chambers.
Developed a simulation model using TRNSYS 17.0.0 to validate experimental results.
Executed a comprehensive case study on a medium office building in Cairo.
Solar control glazing reduced internal chamber temperature by 17 °C compared to clear glass.
Thermal efficiency improved by 29% with solar control glazing.
Simulation showed a 22% enhancement in building thermal efficiency and a 50% reduction in cooling energy consumption.

Elshamy et al. (2026) studied this question.
