Why determining thermal loads through windows is such a pane. 1.

Author(s) : MASON M., KINGSTON T.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The objective of this paper is to shed some light on the complex calculations required to accurately calculate the heat gain through windows and review the development of the relevant formulae used by the industry as glass technology developed. It also discusses the difficulties in applying accurate calculation methods at the design stage when the glass type and window framing is not reliably known. To this end it provides some empirical adjustment factors that can be used with readily available centre of glass properties.
