Calculating Window Solar Heat Gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-07)
Window design has been revolutionized-largely by the introduction of low emissivity (low-e) coatings and substitute fill gases. The large number of design options necessitates the use of computer simulation for development ...
Effective U-values and Shading Coefficients of Preheat/Supply Air Glazing Systems
(1986-06)
Research is documented which makes use of a computer program called VISION, This computer program was developed specifically to provide a detailed analysis of heat transfer occurring in glazing systems. VISION was modified ...
Simulation And Measurement Of Windows With Metal Films Used In Conjunction With Teflon Inner Glazings
(1987-09)
Previous work has shown that highly infrared transparent plastic films are well suited for use as inner glazings when used in conjunction with a low emissivity coating. Thermal resistance measurements of a set of glazing ...
Computer Simulation of Window Condensation Potential
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998-12)
Condensation on windows creates obscured view, can cause building damage, and may lead to mold growth and poor indoor air quality. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has developed new procedures to evaluate window ...
Heat Transfer Analysis Of Windows With Venetian Blinds: A Comparative Study
(2007-06)
The potential to reduce building load and annual energy consumption is widely recognized in the use of shading devices to control solar gain. Consequently, the ability to include and model shading layers in complex glazing ...
An Examination of Keyes Universal Chart: 50 Years Later
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2016-01)
From the late 1940's to the late 1960's, significant efforts were made by ASHVE and then ASHRAE to evaluate and quantify the impact of window shading. In the context of the now defunct Shading Coefficient, well known ...
A two-dimensional numerical model for glazing system thermal analysis
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)
A simple two-dimensional (2-D) numerical control volume formulation is presented that can be used to model heat transfer through a vertical insulated glazing unit. This model accounts for natural convection of the fill gas ...
A study of insulated glazing unit surface temperature profiles using two-dimensional computer simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)
This paper describes one part of a collaborative research project, including both measurement and simulation studies, aimed at determining the surface temperature of a set of insulated glazing units (IGUs). In this study ...
Summary and comparison of methods to calculate solar heat gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)
Methods used to calculate the solar gain of windows (including center-glass, edge-glass, and frame) are examined and compared Particular attention is devoted to the public-domain computer programs VISION3 and WINDOW 4.1. ...
Simulation and Measurement of Windows with Low Emissivity Coatings Used in Conjunction with Teflon Inner Glazings
(1987-09)
Theoretical work has illustrated that highly infrared, transparent plastic films are well suited for use as intermediate glazings when used in conjunction with a low emissivity coating. Prototype glazing systems that ...
