Summary

WINDOW DESIGNS ARE BECOMING MORE COMPLEX IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION. DEVELOPS A GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING THE NET ENERGY FLUX THROUGH THE GLAZED AREA OF A WINDOW COMPOSED OF AN ARBITRARY NUMBER OF SOLID LAYERS. THESE LAYERS, WHICH MAY HAVE THIN-FILM COATINGS, CAN HAVE ANY SPECIFIED SOLAR AND THERMAL RADIATION PROPERTIES AND ENCLOSED SPACES BETWEEN SOLID LAYERS CAN CONTAIN EITHER AIR OR OTHER GASES. VERIFIES THE RESULTS BY COMPARING THEM WITH EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF HEAT FLOW USING A CALIBRATED HOT-BOX. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 18, N1, 1983, 26, 83-00216.
