The impact of different shading percentages on energy consumption and electricity's bills for different orientations in Bahrain

Abstract

The costs of energy consumption are increasing day by day. And the resources of energy are drained day by day, instead of that; the (adverse) environmental impact. According to many studies, the residential buildings sector use the biggest energy consumption then the other sectors (commercial, agricultural, industrial ...etc.) and maximum part of this energy used for air conditioning.
This research focus on differences in reducing the energy consumption and its bills by using the different shading percentage impacts on building. It shows the impacts of differences in shading when the buildings change their orientation. And the reducing cost is very low because of low tariff for electricity in Bahrain. The minimum reduce for the bill of electricity is (0,274 BD = 0, 70 US $) which is very low. While the maximum reduce for the bill of electricity is (10,230 BD = 27, 353 US $) which is low too.
