The subject of the study presents the measurement of temperatures on surfaces of glass systems of existing structures and the surfaces of experimental glass systems obtained by dynamic simulation. Measurements were made in the test cells of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University of Košice. The partial results of which are the basis for the comparison of the currently installed and experimentally designed glass systems using spectrally selective films. The proposed mathematical-physical model was simplified by replacing the sash, frame and its components with a homogenous element with minimal shape modifications, while this does not have a significant effect on the simulation results. The choice of the proposed glass system respects the need for reduction of solar gains in summer and heat losses in buildings in winter through the weakest part of the building envelope and indicates future energy savings in relation to cooling and heating costs with a view to optimizing light and thermal comfort.
The filler structure is one of the most critical parts of the building's envelope so great emphasis should be placed on its proper design. In addition to the number of panes in the glass system, material of the spacer, the type and the concentration of the filler gas in the cavity between glasses of the insulated system as well as the size of the cavity are also important. The paper focuses on the assessment of the influence of filler gas in the glass system cavity to the energy features of the glass structure. The reason for the assessment is the key influence of the inert gas and the glass cavity dimension on the energy properties of the glass system and the fact that its gradually decreasing concentration greatly affects the properties of the glass system.
The paper presents the results of the analysis of several variants of glass systems using low emissivity heat mirror films. The subject of the paper is the determination of the thermal-optical parameters of the structure as well as the analysis of surface temperatures of the considered glass systems, which were obtained by calculation. The result is optimization of the structure which will be the subject of further research.
The aim of the paper is to create a concept of a glass system independently reacting to the parameters of the environment in which is located. Autonomous insulation unit is responded to changes of environmental parameters, capable of evaluating mode efficiency with and without the use of selective layers. Parameter specification of individual modes, description of operation is needed. As a result, a construction scheme of the glass system is proposed.
The theoretical overview serves as a basis for the design of a separate adaptive glass system. An overview of current directions is processed, which reflects the actual user requirements in relation to the thermal comfort. The concept is based on knowledge and practical experience in the field of progressive glass systems today. It uses formulated shortcomings as a tool for their elimination in the further development of the future concept. It is based on the customization of the glass system as a means of achieving the optimal temperature state of the indoor environment in order to eliminate the additional need for cooling and heat for heating buildings.
