Long Time Testing of Temperature Parameters in Selected Windows

Abstract

The article presents the partial knowledge of the area of building physics. The goal is to evaluate the measured data of the temperatures of three window constructions from different material and glass systems. The measurements are made at different places of window friezes and glazing and they run continuously throughout the year. These windows are suitable for low-energy buildings.

Analysis of window model accuracy and its influence on the results compared to the measurement

“…Detailed models of two different plastic windows were compared to the real windows. These types are evaluated in the laboratory of Department of Building Engineering and Urban Planning since 2011 [8]. This laboratory has the controlled indoor environment and outdoor climate is real and recorded with weather station [9].…”

“…and several heat flux plates. This enables the possibility to compare the windows directly [8,10]. Comparison with numerical modelled values such as in this case was not made yet.…”

Lightweight building envelopes in prefabricated buildings in terms of fire resistance

“…Pre-engineered timber buildings are similar to this system. [4] Timber skeleton frame structures are the counterpart of the buildings made of solid timber and framework. The buildings of solid timber and framework have the linear loadbearing construction and the load from the roof and ceiling is transferred by supporting peripheral and internal walls.…”

Using Probabilistic Calculation for the Assessment of the Risk of Water Vapor Condensation on Structures

“…This phenomenon is especially frequent in opening infill, e.g., on the surface of the glazing of windows, doors, etc. This is caused by their thermal properties which are in most cases significantly worse than other structures [2]. For other structures may condensation also occur.…”
