An external window directly affects the energy performance of its building. In modern well-insulated buildings, U-values for walls of 0.36 W/㎡K or even lower can be realized. In such buildings, glazing with typical U-value of 2.1 W/㎡K or higher creates thermal weak spots on the facade. The performance of the existing triple glass window has been limited to energy savings and condensation prevention. In this study, the performance of condensation prevention of a vacuum multi-layer glass was analyzed. The final conclusion through mock-up experiments is as follows. The surface temperature of the vacuum multi-layer glass was 2℃ higher, and the temperature difference ratio (TDR) was 0.07 lower, than the corresponding values of the triple glass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
