Water-Filled Window: Vision of Use in Middle Europe Region

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper deals with a novel system of glazing and presents a water filled window or more precisely window with water flow in cavity within its one year performance. The paper also provides a description of basic principles of functioning and variability in concepts of the window. The results show that the indoor room heat gain can be reduced and this system could be used as a pre-heated water source. There is a great energy-saving potential in applications with these systems, especially in buildings with large glass surfaces which make use of hot water, like gyms, swimming pools, hotels etc.
