Abstract
Electricity is one of the major energy consumption in any commercial building. There are many ways to consume energy. One of the ways is by using building material. The plywood and furniture industry is growing day by day in India for the last few years. The wood is itself made transparent and stronger. The tiny fibers that form the walls of channels are what makes wood so robust. These channels, being the backbone structure of wood. The approach of using transparent wood could slash energy costs by reducing there need for artificial lighting inside buildings. Transparent wood has more strength and better insulating properties than glass and other materials. It also has better biodegradability than ordinary plastic and is shatter-proof as well. This material reduces a building's net energy consumption not only by reducing the need for artificial lighting but also by generating electricity. These results are analyzed by simulating this material in a building. Comparing other materials with these materials is beneficial in many aspects.
