Description

Abstract Only.

Windows historically have been the poorest performing elements of the building envelope. High heat loss during winter weather exposes the building occupant to cold interior glass surfaces. High solar gain in the spring, summer, and fall can lead to serious overheating on sunlit elevations. Today’s high-performance window systems greatly improve on cold weather comfort, but the designer must still choose the appropriate level of solar gain for year-round performance
