A Detailed Model to Determine the Effective Solar Optical Properties of Draperies
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2009)Drapes have the potential to reduce peak cooling load and annual energy consumption because they can be used to control solar gain. Thus, the need to model a drapes in a glazing system analysis is important. A detailed ... -
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 method for determining the effective longwave radiative properties of pleated draperies
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-10-01)Draperies, attached to fenestration, offer a cost-effective strategy in controlling solar gain since draperies have the potential to reduce building peak load and annual energy consumption. The performance of a drapery is ... -
A Simplified Method For Calculating The Effective Solar Optical Properties Of a Drapery
(2007-06)The use of draperies to control solar gain through windows is common in residential and commercial buildings and their potential for reduction of building peak load and annual energy consumption is recognized to be large. ...
