Transparent insulating materials: steady-state model for assessing thermal performance.

Author(s) : GORGOLEWSKI M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper investigates the use of transparent insulating material in buildings and considers how the performance of materials with such complex and varying effects can be modelled in a simple steady-state thermal prediction model. The results of these tests indicate that for predicting annual energy savings an accuracy within 20% of a dynamic simulation model was achieved in all cases and within 10% in most cases.
