Calculating the Solar Heat Gain of Window Frames
Wright, John L.; McGowan, Alexander G. (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
Wright, John L.; McGowan, Alexander G. (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
McGowan, Alexander G.; Wright, John L. (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 ...
