This paper explores the balance between reducing energy use and intial costs over the life cycle of glazing options. More specifically, this paper discusses the results of parametric analysis on a calibrated building energy model of a single-story office building with multiple glazing options, including: double or triple glazed insulated glazing units (IGU), low-emissivity (low-e) coatings, window-to-wall ratios (WWR), and gas fillers. The model was used to predict energy consumption; Skanska performed detailed cost estimates to provide upfront costs; and the model’s results were combined with typical energy costs to estimate long- term costs.
