Summary

THE MAIN ROLE OF GLASS SURFACES FACING TOWARDS THE SOUTH, AS USED IN PASSIVE SOLAR HEATING SYSTEMS, IS TO INCREASE SOLAR HEAT GAINS AND DECREASE HEAT LOSSES FROM ROOMS IN HEATING SEASON. AFTER EXPLAINING THE INFLUENCE OF RADIATION THROUGH WINDOWS ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN AIR-CONDITIONING, REFRIGERATION AND LIGHTING, THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES THE SOLUTION OF LOWERING HEAT LOSSES BY USING HEAT MIRRORS. THESE MIRRORS ARE VERY TRANSPARENT AND HAVE A LOW K-VALUE. THIS SYSTEM IS CHEAPER THAN MANY MOVABLE INSULATION SYSTEMS. IT OFFERS MORE COMFORT TO USERS AND PREVENTS UNWANTED CONDENSATION.
