“…Decreasing the heat transfer of PCM-glazed units (Li et al, 2018a(Li et al, , 2018b(Li et al, , 2018cLiu et al, 2019) creates uneven thermal load, which produces a temperature difference in PCM-glazed units (Wang et al, 2018), however a large temperature difference increases the thermal stress in such units. The glass in PCM-glazed units is fragile, which results that the PCM-glazed units become one of the most fragile and vulnerable components of buildings under load (Bedon et al, 2018), e.g., impact load (Olmos Navarrete et al, 2017) or thermal load (Wang et al 2012). There are many studies on the thermal stresses of architectural glass.…”

The low heat transfer and high energy storage performance of phase change material (PCM) will improve the thermal performance of the PCM-glazed units. However, decreasing the heat transfer results in uneven thermal load on the surface of the PCM-glazed units, which is an important cause of thermal stress in such units, because the glass in glazed units is a fragile material, and then large thermal stress can result in cracks and possible fallout of the glazed units. To study the thermal stress distribution of PCM-glazed units, a method combined numerical simulation and experimental analysis was conducted. First, the heat transfer performance and thermal stress distribution of PCM-glazed units with PCM thicknesses between 3 and 11 mm were experimentally investigated. Results showed that the thermal performance of a glazed unit was improved by adding PCM, and the variation of thermal strain on its surface with a PCM-layer thickness of 7 mm was the smallest in five test facilities. Then, the thermal stress was numerically investigated regarding the PCM height and the aspect ratio of the PCM-glazed unit. The higher the PCM height, the greater the maximum strain. An aspect ratio of PCM-glazed units of 1.5 was recommended.

“…However, glass has some disadvantages. Glass has a tendency to crack, especially at impact (Olmos Navarrete et al, 2017;Pathirana et al, 2017;Sundaram and Tippur, 2018). Therefore, glass elements should be used in building in a well-thought-out manner to ensure the safety of people and property during the use of buildings and premises.…”

Glass Building Elements - Technical Aspects of Safe Usage in the Structure

Recent years have shown increased interest in the use of glass structures in the construction industry. Investors value qualities such as aesthetics and the good environmental resistance of glass. It has become commonplace to use glass not only to construct façades, but also in horizontal partitions (floors, building coverings ) and in such elements as protective canopies, passageway screens or fire barriers. Such extensive use of this building material has been made possible by the development of technology for manufacturing glass with improved strength properties, in particular, toughened and laminated glass. However, glass has some disadvantages as a building material – first of all, low tensile strength, impact strength and point load compressive strength. The use of glass with improved strength properties minimises these defects to a considerable extent. Nevertheless, it sometimes happens that glass structures crack or lose their aesthetic value. This results from errors made during the design stage as well as during the construction work on the structure. Based on an “in situ” study and the literature on the subject, the article identifies risks associated with the use of glass elements, in addition to analysing their causes and possible effects. Examples of real elements in the course of their use are provided in order to illustrate the factors under analysis. Moreover, the article includes recommendations linked to the safe usage of glass in the structure when discussed against the background of assembly errors.

“…The design of modern residential houses is to use sunlight as much as possible, an important natural resource, to save energy demand. So glass materials are widely used to an unprecedented degree [1][2][3]. Glass Windows allow as much sunlight as possible into the interiors of residential buildings.…”

The energy distribution of solar radiation and the demand of the residential building environment for lighting and temperature are contradictory to some extent. In order to better meet people's life needs, better control of sun's light and heat is needed to solve this problem. We use the infrared cutoff filter technology in optical coating to allow visible light to enter residential buildings as much as possible, while minimizing the access of near-infrared light 1 .
