Simulation And Measurement Of Windows With Metal Films Used In Conjunction With Teflon Inner Glazings

Abstract

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 systems incorporating gold or copper coatings plus Teflon intermediate glazings are reported. The same glazing systems were simulated using a computer program called VISION. The agreement between the two sets of results was found to be very good.
