2-Dimensional Steady State Thermal Analysis is performed on simple assemblies to identify the thermal transmittance (U value) and assess the condensation risk. What is the thermal transmittance? It’s composed of the three modes of heat transfer: thermal heat conductivity, thermal heat conductivity,...
G-valueHigh-performance glassShading devicesSolar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)WindowLow-eThe Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is one of the energy loss factors in buildings, which affects a cooling load significantly. A variety of shading devices and high-performance windows have already been ...
Commercial-residential buildings should be considered U-value and SHGC because of the different characteristics heating and cooling loads of both residential space and commercial space. In this study the influence of SHGC and U-value on energy consumption was analyzed with simulation, depending on a ...
How come WASCO doesn't give an R-Value for its windows? WASCO offers NFRC (National Fenestration Registration Council ®) certified products. The NFRC uses the U-factor because “R-value does not accurately reflect this interaction [with solar radiation and airflow around the window]. Th...
