A design tool for glazed spaces. 2. Examples.

Author(s) : FREDLUND B.

Summary

In order that the proportion of solar radiation in different types of glazed spaces may be assessed, calculations have been made with the computer program DEROB-LTH. A simple manual calculation method has also been developed for the assessment of temperature and energy requirements in glazed spaces. The effect of the glazed space on the energy requirements of surrounding buildings is also estimated. It is intended that this calculation method be used during the preliminary design stage so that designers may gain some idea of the difference between alternative designs. The calculation method has been tested on two projects: a glazed courtyard at Tärnan and blocks of flats with glazed verandas in Taberg. Field measurements were made in both these projects.
