Comparison of Experimental and Computational Characteristics of Selected Window

Abstract

The article brings new knowledge of the area of thermal and light characteristics of window constructions. The goal is comparison and subsequent evaluation of the measured thermal parameters and transmittance of solar radiation of three window constructions. These constructions are based on different material and different glass systems. They are designed for energy self-sufficient buildings. Assessed windows are placed in the Testing Laboratory of the Department of Building Engineering and Urban Planning, Faculty of civil engineering, University of Žilina. The laboratory is pavilion type and the windows are monitored throughout the whole year.
