Effectiveness of energy-saving glazing in various climatic zones of Russia

Abstract

Abstract Transmission heat losses through the filling of the apertures are greatest through the entire envelope of the building, therefore, their reduction is of great importance for saving energy for heating. For this purpose, the installation of double-glazed windows with special energy-saving coatings is being carried out. The purpose of this work is to estimate the decrease in heat losses while reducing heat gains when replacing glass packs with energy-saving ones for the whole building. For this purpose, an indicator was introduced that is equal to the ratio of heat loss reduction, taking into account the decrease in heat gains when replacing glass packs with energy-saving ones. This indicator was calculated using the example of a building, presumably located in different climatic zones of Russia. This indicator can be used in economic calculations when evaluating the effectiveness of energy-saving glazing.
