Calculating the Solar Heat Gain of Window Frames
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1999)It is not practical to measure the solar heat gain of a window frame. It is more practical to do so by calculation. Typically, the frame solar heat gain is a small component of the total or is small in absolute terms so ... -
A Comparison of Calculated and Measured Indoor-Side Window Temperature Profiles
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2003)Computer-generated surface temperature profiles are presented for the indoor side, vertical centerline of two windows and a calibration transfer standard (CTS). These specific configurations were chosen because they match ... -
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 ... -
Overview of a Project to Determine the Surface Temperatures of Insulated Glazing Units: Thermographic Measurement and Two-Dimensional Simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)A collaborative research project was undertaken to generate surface temperature profiles for the indoor side of seven different double and triple-glazed insulated glazing units exposed to the ASHRAE winter design condition. ... -
A Simplified Numerical Method for Assessing the Condensation Resistance of Windows
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998)Methods have been established for calculating heat transfer in windows whereby a one-dimensional analysis is used for the center-glass area and a two-dimensional numerical calculation is used to model conduction in the ...
