Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Windows
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998)Building envelope performance is strongly influenced by solar gain and heat transfer through windows. The majority of this energy gain or loss passes through the center-glass area of the glazing system. Various methods ... -
Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Windows with a Diathermanous Layer
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2006)The fenestration chapter of the 2005 ASHRAE Hand-book—Fundamentals (ASHRAE 2005) has long included methods for determining the U-factor and solar heat gain coef-ficient (SHGC), or window performance indices, using the ... -
A Correlation to Quantify Convective Heat Transfer Between Vertical Window Glazings
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)Several correlations have been used in recent years for the purpose of calculating convective, centre-glass heat transfer rates across gas-filled interpane window cavities. These correlations are examined and their background ... -
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 ... -
Solar Absorption by Each Element in a Glazing/Shading Layer Array
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2006)Window solar gain can strongly influence building energy consumption and peak cooling load. Shading devices such as venetian blinds, roller blinds, and drapes are routinely used to control solar gain. There is a strong ... -
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. ... -
Thermal resistance measurement of glazing system edge-seals and seal materials using a guarded heater plate apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1989)In cold climates the increased edge-glass heat transfer at the perimeter of a sealed glazing unit creates a special problem. This is where condensed water and frost most readily occur. One mechanism contributing to edge-glass ...
