Author(s) : ARASTEH D. K., REILLY M. S., RUBIN M. D.

Summary

ADVANCES IN WINDOW TECHNOLOGIES AND THE DESIRE TO STANDARDIZE THE REPORTING OF STANDARD WINDOW HEAT-TRANSFER INDICES HAVE NECESSITATED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH WINDOWS. THE PAPER SHOWS HOW COMPLETE WINDOW HEAT TRANSFER CAN BE CONSIDERED AS THE AREA-WEIGHTED SUM OF THE THREE-WINDOW COMPONENT AREAS: THE CENTER-OF-GLASS AREA, THE EDGE-OF-GLASS AREA, AND THE FRAME AREA. ALGORITHMS FOR CALCULATING HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH EACH OF THESE AREAS AND FOR COMBINING THESE TO CALCULATE TOTAL WINDOW INDICES ARE PRESENTED.
