Glazing and its influence on building energy behavior

Juan C. Klainsek

Renewable Energy, 1991, vol. 1, issue 3, 441-448

Abstract: The parameters handled when designing a building serve to shape its orientation and characteristics of the envelope elements [Turiel et al. (1984) Energy and Buildings6, 70], and so they can and should be analysed. In the present study one of these parameters will be analysed individually—the glass areas—in a commercial base building. Three different types of glazing have been taken into account: (i) colorless, (ii) bronze colored and (iii) reflectant, insulating with a gap of variable thickness, and single. Energy consumptions in summer and winter have been obtained from these studies.
