Analysis of solar radiation and implementation of a calculation model for energy characterization of fenestration systems.

Author(s) : CORRADO V., SERRA V.

Summary

In the last years, as fenestration and shading systems have become more complex and sophisticated, a great improvement of thermal and solar-optical performance has been required and as a consequence old methods of characterization have become inadequate. This evolution has yielded the introduction of new lumped parameters and the implementation of more sophisticated calculation models, which allow to evaluate the performance of fenestration and shading systems taking into account a large number of factors, such as the angular dependence of solar heat gain. In the first part of this work an analysis of incident solar radiation on fenestration has been performed, by using the climatic data contained in the average monthly days of some sites representative of the main Italian climatic zones.In the second part of this work a calculation model for the determination of the solar energy transmittance of fenestration and shading systems has been developed.
