Use of Transparent Thermal Insulation in Old Buildings, Taking into Account Architectural and Energy Aspects
Initiatives to make notable cuts in energy consumption have to start with energy-wise modernization of old buildings. By using transparent thermal insulation systems, great successes can be achieved. A richly illustrated overview of this problem complex first goes into the significance of thermal insulation in building construction. Details concern conventional thermal insulation works and its structure, with remarks on the influence of thermal insulation properties, climate, wall building material, orientation, wall structure and sunscreening. The author then goes on to discuss transparent thermal insulation in old buildings. The subjects treated are: selection of building, surfaces suitable for transparent insulation in old buildings, an architectural application study (size of insulating elements, influence of frame segments), the consequences to be drawn from this study, and the energy-wise effects of various types of insulating measures. The annual cut in heating energy consumption that can be made by opaque insulation amounts to between 35 and 60%, and by transparent insulation between 28 and 46%. (ERA citation 14:000807)
