  2. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

    A typical installation of insulated glass windows with uPVC frames. Possibly the earliest use of double glazing was in Siberia, where it was observed by Henry Seebohm in 1877 as an established necessity in the Yeniseysk area where the bitterly cold winter temperatures regularly fall below -50 °C, indicating how the concept may have started: [2]

  3. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

    This yields to a 77% reduction in heating load and a 70% reduction in the cost for winter heating requirements. [14] In 1974, the first example of Trombe wall system was used in the Kelbaugh House in Princeton, New Jersey. [4] The house is located along the northern boundary of the site to maximize the unshaded access to available sunlight.

  4. Window insulation film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation_film

    A film is attached to the window frame to trap a pocket of air between the glass and the film, creating a double-glazed system with an insulating gap of still air. Thermal conductivity of still air is 0.024 W/(m.K) and much lower than that of glass (0.96 W/(m.K)). [1]

  5. Window covering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_covering

    Window coverings comprise materials used to cover a window to manage sunlight, privacy, additional weatherproofing or for purely decorative purposes. Window coverings are typically used on the interior side of windows, but exterior solutions are also available. Window coverings may be used to manage overheating and glare issues due to sunlight.

  6. Window insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation

    The proportion of glass fibre in the profiles is 25%. The material used for this insulating bar stands out for its low thermal conductivity value (0.30 W/m2K) and its good mechanical properties even at higher temperatures. A non-thermally-separated frame from an aluminum window has a thermal transmission coefficient of 6.8 W/m2K. If the system ...

  7. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    The temperature variations caused by the heat losses and gains can be moderated by thermal mass and low-emissivity windows. Thermal mass can include a masonry floor, a masonry wall bordering the house, or water containers. Distribution of heat to the building can be accomplished through ceiling and floor level vents, windows, doors, or fans.
