Energy performance of evacuated glazings in residential buildings.

Author(s) : SULLIVAN R., BECK F. A., ARASTEH D. K., SELKOWITZ S. E.

Summary

Their performance is determined by comparing results to prototype highly insulated superwindows as well as a more conventional insulating glass unit with a low-e coating and argon gas fill. The results show that for highly insulating windows, the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) is as important as the window's U-factor in determining heating performance for window orientations facing west, south, and east. For other orientations in which there is not much direct solar radiation, the window's U-factor primarily governs performance. The cooling performance of the windows was inversely related to the heating performance.
