The shape of a building has a direct effect on the building energy consumption. This study analyzes the impact of the curved shapes on the final energy demand by studying three different shapes. Each of them was simulated for winter and summer and with studying the effect of glazing area and changing the curvature rates. The differences in shape between the buildings is found to have an impact and on the final energy demand. The application of the shapes shows that the horizontal curved shapes is more suitable according to reducing the amount of cooling load for the climate as Abu Dhabi and depending on the result it can be said that with having high curvature rate the curved shapes are more efficient due to energy saving than rectangle with having the same volume and same building characteristics
