This study investigates the effect of glazing openings (windows and doors) on the performance of thermal insulation on energy consumption in residential buildings.

The study covers five different regions in Saudi Arabia : Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Tabuk and Khamis Mushait.

The study demonstrates the importance of the use of thermal insulation in reducing energy consumption in Saudi Arabia.

Findings showed that saving in energy consumption can reach up to 20% of the total electrical consumption.

The importance of glazing area and its properties on the performance of wall's insulation was also demonstrated.
