Investigation of Different Configurations of a Ventilated Window to Optimize Both Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort

The results of the study show the energy and comfort performance of different ventilated window typologies and provide optimally ventilated window typologies for climates of these four European climates. The typologies with solar control or Low-emissivity (Low-e) coatings and typologies with double glazing on the outside have better performance in terms of either minimizing the energy consumption or optimizing the thermal comfort. The provided optimal window typologies can be used in residential and commercial buildings for both new constructions and renovations.
