In Glazed elements play an important role in total energy consumption of buildings. They significantly influence total energy consumption through energy consumption for heating and cooling, ventilation and lighting. To optimize these consumptions, the glazed elements must be treated taking into consideration several characteristics, namely: thermal transmittance, degree of transparency and solar factor. Moreover, the choice of glazed elements must be studied and calibrated by the type of building but also by location, from a climatic point of view. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the main characteristics of glazed elements and the ways in which these can be measured. The equipment and its operation are presented as well as examples of measurements performed on different types of glazed elements. Also, the paper presents a case study that includes the thermal balance performed on a building in Timisoara taking into account the characteristics of the measured glazed elements. In order to highlight their importance, a parametric study of the transmittance and the solar factor was performed, taking into account the investment costs, respectively, the cost over the life of the investment.
