Today’s building enclosures face ever greater demands regarding their thermal performance. In cold climates, the required total U-value of the façade
Several years ago, Technoform and the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) researched the thermal performance of different aluminum
In recent decades the use of unitized glazing systems has become increasingly common especially for high-rise construction. The opaque panels in
Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to
The traditional building facade as a permanent construction does not actively respond to the differing needs from varying weather conditions.
This paper discusses a simulation study of different window systems, where heat transfer simulations were performed to investigate thermal
Thermal-break-blanket technology is a novel and high-performance thermal break solution for aluminum curtain walls. The thermal-break-blanket is
The use of glass in windows and curtain walls in residential as well as in commercial buildings needs to be designed very carefully. In addition to
