Abstract
The article deals with the issues of wood windows applicable according to the expected requirements after the year 2020. It analyses the potential of the current top windows in regard to modern design, functionality, and building physical properties. By applying progressive material solutions, it is possible to create windows with proportionally variable frame solutions or even with frameless wing construction. The introduction of vacuum glass systems requires the optimization of the profile system of a wooden window. Modern quality glass systems bring the problem of condensation of water vapour on the exterior surface of the glass. Also, a new phenomenon in the emerging trend of energy-saving buildings and despite the use of quality wooden profile systems is the condensation of water vapour that occurs in the functional joint of the profile system of the wooden window. This fact is increasingly leading to mold growth in functional joints, which subsequently has a negative impact on human health.
Highlights
Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the energy performance of buildings lays down new requirements for the energy performance of buildings, defining as well the intended use of energy. This directive was implemented in the Slovak Republic with an amendment to Act No 300/2012 on the energy performance of buildings and amending Act No 555/2005 on the energy performance of buildings and amending certain acts, which amended Act No 50/1976 on urban and regional planning and the building code
Implementing Decree No 311/2009 of the Ministry of Construction and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic was superseded in its entirety by Implementing Decree No 364/2012 of the Ministry Transport, Construction and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic of 12 November 2012, which implements Act No 555/2005 on the energy performance of buildings and amending certain acts
Some of the requirements on building components arising out of the directive and the act are interpreted in Slovak Technical Standard 73 0540-2:2012 ‘Thermal Protection of Buildings
