The Effects of Window Film on the Performance of Window System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Window film is generally attached the glazing in buildings to improve the thermal performance of the window system by addressing a range of problems such as indoor temperature rise, indoor temperature imbalance, degraded heating and cooling load due to excessive influx of solar radiation. To evaluate the performance of window films, window films are attached to 3mm or 6mm clear glass. However, window films are generally used on existing window systems for reducing the annual energy consumption. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate the performance of window films depending on the performance of glazing such as clear double glazing or low-e double glazing. Thus the purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of window systems when window film is attached. As a result, in the case of applying window films for reducing the SHGC of buildings, it is necessary to select window films suitable for the configuration and performance of the glazing to be installed, considering the SHGC of the entire glazing system.
