1. 26. The effects of low-emissivity window films on thermal comfort and energy performance of a historic stone building in cold climate: computer simulations with "IDA ICE"

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

   Author : Saman Abolghasemi Moghaddam; [2019]
   Keywords : Low-E window films; low-emissivity window films; thermal comfort; IDA ICE; solar heat gain; U-value; building energy saving measures; heating demand; cooling demand;

   Abstract : Low-emissivity (low-E) window films are designed to improve the energy performance of windows and prevent indoor overheating by solar radiation. These films can be applied to different types of glazing units without the need for changing the whole window. READ MORE
