The Energy-Saving Design and Construction Study on Exterior Windows in the Building

Abstract:

Doors and windows,especially the exterior windows, are the weak parts to preserve or insulate heat in the exterior protected construction of a building, and the main contents in energy-saving architectural designs. The energy-saving design of exterior windows should start from such aspects as size, shape, frame form, glass type, gap sealing, etc. The size of the exterior window holes should be determined according to the window-wall area ratio specified in the relevant rules. It is priority to choose side-hung window in energy-saving design, to choose the low heat transferring window frame, to take measures to break the “thermal bridge”, and to select the energy-saving glass such as decalescence glass, coated glass, hollow glass and vacuum glass. The gaps should be sealed tightly between wall and window frame, window frame and sash, glass and window sash to reduce the air permeable.
