In this study an attempt has been made to find the correlation between the Glazing provided in such
building and its effect on the Life Cycle Energy Use. The equation developed will be able to predict the
change in cost with change in glazing and help designers to easily consider economic factor without
rigorous analysis in Revit. Furthermore, it will be very helpful to those who dont know to run energy
analysis in Revit.
All the parameters were kept constant, only Glazing was varied at increments of 5% and corresponding
Life Cycle Energy Use was noted.
The results of the analysis are attached at the end of the document.

The independent variable is Galzing.

From above table it is evident that the relation between the independent variable Glazing and dependent variable Life Cycle Energy
Cost can be expressed in terms of Cubic Equation in most reliable way. The expression can be written as below:
F(x) = 213502.809 x3 + 1590.809 x2 + 1337.995 x + 284859.644
