Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multitude of design strategies are available to achieve energy-efficient windows. Opportunities for improving window performance fall into six groups: site, exterior appendages, frame, glazing, interior accessories, and building interior. Design strategies within these groups can improve one or more of the six energy functions of windows: solar heating, daylighting, shading, insulation, air tightness, and ventilation. Included in this report are 33 strategies; an explanation of the physical phenomena responsible for each strategys energy performance, summarized energy and non-energy advantages and disadvantages; aesthetic considerations; cost approximations; example installations, laboratory studies, or calculations by the authors; and references. Intended readers include professional designers, lessees and owners of commercial space, home buyers and owners, window component manufacturers, and researchers. The reports purpose is to draw attention to the wide range of options currently available to conserve energy with windows.

Book Synopsis Architectural Energy Efficiency by : Nasrollahi, Farshad
Download or read book Architectural Energy Efficiency written by Nasrollahi, Farshad and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy saving in buildings through cost and energy-intensive measures, such as the application of additional building materials and technologies, is only possible with a great consumption of resources and CO2 emissions for their production. For low energy buildings, the investment costs, including user costs and governmental subsidies, are generally high, and construction is not always economically viable in consideration of the national capital in the present economic conditions of most countries. For these reasons, it is first of all necessary to apply cost and resource-efficient measures to save energy in buildings and then make use of additional cost and energy-intensive measures by improving the thermal envelope, the HVAC system or by installing energy generating systems. One of the most cost effective and ecological methods of energy saving in buildings is the reduction of energy requirements through climate responsive architecture. Due to the fact that energy saving through the optimization of architecture is not only cost-neutral, resource-efficient and carbon-neutral but also has a very high energy-saving potential, the first and most important strategy to save energy should be an optimized and climate responsive design. Energy saving through optimized architectural design is economically and ecologically sustainable. The development of building simulation science in the last decades has made it easier to study the energy performance of buildings. Tools have made it possible to predict the complex behavior of buildings regarding the climate. Except for the comparison of different building typologies to find the most efficient, there are no other methods to achieve energy savings through the architectural design, which can be applied by a variety of building types and climates. Therefore, in order to encourage the optimization of architectural design, it is necessary to improve these methods which represent strategies to significantly reduce the energy demand of buildings. Architectural Energy Efficiency is a parametric method which separately studies the effects of various energy-related architectural factors on the energy demand of buildings by using dynamic energy simulations to find the, from an energy efficiency point of view, optimum value for each of these. The architectural factors include orientation, building elongation, building form, opening ratio in different orientations, sun shading, natural ventilation etc. The research process that led to the formulation of the Architectural Energy Efficiency method is based on a series of simulations carried out by a dynamic simulation software tool (DesignBuilder) to calculate the energy demands of a building with different variants for a single architectural feature. The aim of the simulations is to find an optimum set of energy-related variables that result in the best and most efficient energy performance for a specific building type and climate. This method of efficiency illustrates the effects different architectural features have on the various energy demands of buildings. The criteria are derived from the application of this method for a specific building occupation and climate, and can be applied in the design process of buildings, which leads to improvements of the energy performance and a reduction of resource consumption. As the architectural design affects the heating and cooling as well as the lighting energy demands of buildings, the optimum value of each factor must be based on these three aspects. The heating, cooling and lighting energy demands of buildings all behave very differently. Therefore, these three energy demands together (i. e. the sum of heating, cooling and lighting energy) must also be applied as a criterion to study the building energy performance and find the optimum value for each architectural feature. The criteria for selecting the best variant can not only be based on the total energy demand, but should also consider the primary energy demand, the CO2 emissions, energy costs (for heating, cooling and lighting), life cycle costs, etc. The application of these findings to the architectural design of buildings minimizes the energy demand, the CO2 emissions and energy costs of the building, does not, however, affect the initial building costs. The advantages of energy saving through optimizing the architectural design are not only the improvement of the building’s energy performance, but also the fact that the energy saving is cost and resource-efficient. This means that the energy demand of a building will decrease without increasing the investment costs of the building and without consuming any resources and energy for the production of additional building materials. The cost and resource efficiency contributes towards the economic and ecological sustainability of a building during the full life cycle.
Book Synopsis Energy Conservation Strategies for Windows and Glazed Surfaces by : Brian M. Deal
Download or read book Energy Conservation Strategies for Windows and Glazed Surfaces written by Brian M. Deal and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological advances in glazing and window assemblies, lighting, and energy management controls have complicated glazing systems design. Selecting a window assembly that provides the greatest value or efficiency is difficult considering the multitude of performance criteria that should be considered, the many available glazing options, and the profusion of window manufacturers in the marketplace. To address this problem, this report synthesizes up-to-date information on basic conservation strategies that relate to the design and specification of glazing and window assemblies. General concepts of building fenestration design and the role of the design professional in the selection of glazing systems are introduced. Information on heat transfer dynamics relating to glazed surfaces is presented and technological advances in glazing and window assemblies are discussed. Methods for the selection of glazing systems are also presented in the form of case studies, and a general discussion of window labeling and technical sources for information are presented. The report also provides design professionals, specifiers, and energy managers with references and sources for additional technical information on windows, glazing products, and issues surrounding new glazing technologies.

Book Synopsis Optimization of Energy Efficient Windows in Office Buildings for Different Climate Zones of the United States by : Priyanka Rathi
Download or read book Optimization of Energy Efficient Windows in Office Buildings for Different Climate Zones of the United States written by Priyanka Rathi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research estimates that windows are responsible for 39% of commercial heating energy use and 28% of commercial cooling energy use; this is equivalent to almost 1.5% of the total U.S. energy consumption (Apte and Arasteh, 2006). In addition, the commercial sector in U.S. accounts for 37% of the total electrical energy consumption for lighting (Ander, 2003). Therefore, window design optimization for thermal and daylight performance is important in achieving energy conservation and increasing overall efficiency of office buildings in the U.S. Because current energy standards [ASHRAE 90.1] focus on thermal performance, they set requirements for fenestration based on minimum thermal characteristics. They suggest window to wall ratio (WWR) values based on thermal performance alone while do not recommend visual transmittance values. Providing fenestration related parameters optimized for thermal and daylight performance may help in achieving efficient design solutions. This study is intended to propose modified fenestration guidelines for the office buildings by investigating the optimization strategies for seven climate zones of the U.S. To determine the pattern of energy usage with and without daylight utilization, series of computer simulations were conducted using the Radiance link in the IES Virtual Environment simulation software. The optimum ranges of fenestration related parameters were derived to meet the daylight requirement and to conserve energy. The results revealed 10-15% reductions in the total energy use of office buildings with an increase in overall efficiency. Further, the recommended guidelines provide the designers with a simple method for evaluating the fenestration design in the initial design phase to achieve optimized building fac̦ade solutions.
