The use of test rooms to determine the thermal performance of a transparently insulated opaque wall.

Author(s) : DOLLEY P. R., et al.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Describes a side-by-side comparison between a test room equipped with an opaque wall clad with a proprietary polycarbonate, honeycomb transparent insulation material and a reference room. Analyses the measured data in terms of straightforward comparisons between the energy consumptions of wall heat fluxes in the two rooms. The results are parameterised by a steady-state specific heat loss (U-value, air to air) and a solar collection efficiency for the wall. Uses these values to extrapolate to a whole year under the UK climate.
