The effect of surface disruptions on the convective heat loss from glazing.

Summary

Current architectural trends are toward the increased use of glass in construction. At the same time, higher standards of wall insulation have been adopted to reduce energy demands. These factors have led to an increase in the influence of glazing on building fabric heat loss. This paper presents the results of wind tunnel studies into the effect on convective heat loss of the attachment of disruptions to glazed surfaces. Results and conclusions are given.
