  1. 1. Life cycle assessment of flat glass and the implications of thinner and stronger glass

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Daniel Chima; [2023]
    Keywords : Soda-Lime Glass SLS ; Thermal Strengthening; Chemical Strengthening; Life Cycle Analysis.;

    Abstract : In the production of glass, the addition of more cullet to the batch of glass and the reduction of the thickness of glass are means to reduce energy consumption and raw material usage. This contributes towards improved energy efficiency targets of the European Union. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reversible windows for energy savings : Computer simulations using IDA-ICE software

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Aitor Latasa Galíndez; Germán Mestre Manrique; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal comfort; solar; transmittance; heat; cooling; reversible windows; IDA-ICE; energy; savings; winter; summer;

    Abstract : This study looks at how reversible windows can minimize cooling and heating energy use while maintaining thermal comfort in buildings in Sweden and Spain. The growing need for energy-efficient structures and the potential advantages of reversible windows served as the driving forces behind this study. READ MORE
