heal.abstract	Building thermal and energy performance has been a big issue in our day and age. Many attempts to face this subject have been met with varying levels of success. A big part of this success is thanks to softwares specifically built to help us study the thermal performance of buildings, one of these softwares is eQuest. We first started by studying the thermal and energy performance of houses in detail, then we learned and researched the types and thickness of materials used in the construction process. We learned in great detail about eQuest and how it works, we then used it for our studies and research. We simulated 2 scenarios on two different homes. One in Calgary, Canada and the other in Abu Dhabi. This helped us compare the thermal and energy performance of each house based on location and type of climate. This lead us to achieve our thesis goal, which is to compare the performance of a house located in cold climate and another in hot climate so we can use proper heating and cooling systems respectively. We also researched the electricity cost of natural gas in each country, so we can compare the expenses of cooling and heating systems for each house, and by that we compared two houses in different weather and different countries using eQuest.	en
