Event Details
Key Points:
- Illustrate the impact of windows on the heat loss performance of a wall.
- The use of the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) design tool to better understand the window specification in building an energy model of the building before construction takes place.
- Results of a comparison between windows at different sizes & frame types.
- Minimum surface temperature and fRsi are critical measures of frame performance.
Introduction:
A look at the impact of different window frame materials and glass performance on the heat loss performance of a wall. The PHPP accurately accounts for the window frame, glass and installation of every window to understand at the design stage just what heat loss impact this might have. Having a window frame fRsi calculation ensures that the window will remain free of condensation. Furthermore, analysis of this level of window data allows designers to understand better the performance and value of different window frame specification in a building.
Join us for a 1-hour online session where Tom Hughes discusses the importance of window selection in the design of your home.
