EDGE FOR AFFORDABLE GREEN HOMES: OPTIMISATION OF WATER USE AND SOLAR
HEAT GAINPhoto
1st Annual KGBC Green Building Conference
“Sustainable Housing and Green Living”
WHY GREEN HOMES?
BENEFITS FOR THE RESIDENTS
1.CREATES A MORE HEALTHY AND COMFORTABLE LYFESTYLEhomes are built to be healthy providing clean indoor air incorporating safe building materials
2. CUTS UTILITY, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTSUsing LESS ENERGY and WATER, lower utility bills each month
3. INCREASED MARKET VALUEcertified green homes are selling quicker and for more money than comparable non-green homes
4. INSPIRES PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP
5. PROTECTS THE PLANET
Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies
EDGE is a green building platform that includes• Green building standard• Software application• Certification program for more than 140 countries
EDGE certification is awarded when minimum efficiencies are achieved:
• 20% savings in operational energy• 20% water savings• 20% savings in embodied energy
WHAT is EDGE ?

EDGE FOR HOMES – WATER EFFICIENCY MEASURES
WATER SAVINGS ANALYSIS IN ONE RESIDENTAL BUILDING IN KUWAIT
ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES IN EDGE FOR HOMES
• The sun is the most powerful light source but is also a
source of significant heat gain
• It is important to balance lighting and ventilation
benefits of glazing against the impacts of heat gain on
cooling needs and/or passive heating
• The design goal should be to meet minimum
illumination levels without significantly exceeding the
solar heat gains in temperate and warm climates
WINDOW to WALL RATIO (WWR)

ENERGY SAVINGS WHEN WWR MEASUERE IMPLEMENTED IN ONE RESIDENTAL BUILDING IN KUWAIT
WWR (%) = WINDOW or GLAZING AREA (including mullions and frames)GROSS EXTERIOR WALL AREA
External shading devices are provided on the building façade to
protect the glazed elements (glass windows and doors ) from
direct solar radiation to reduce glare and to reduce radiant solar
heat gain in cooling dominated climates.
• The shading factor is expressed as a decimal value between 0 and 1• The higher the shading factor, the greater is the shading capability of the shading device
Annual Average Shading Factor (AASF)
