Summary

Heating and cooling energy calculations and building energy simulations need the overall heat-transfer coefficient (U-factor) of windows. The study focuses on the U-factor of a window with a cloth curtain indoors. Two side-by-side hot boxes are built in a laboratory for testing the window U-factors. The tested window systems are 100% glass area without frames which are equivalent to the center of glass of practical windows. The two types of tested window systems are the single glazing and the double glazing with a cloth curtain, respectively. The effect of curtain edge sealing conditions on U-factors is also studied.
