Interference Of Frame And Glass Systems And Their Impact On Thermal Performance Of Fenestration Systems

The paper focuses on the analysis of thermo technical interaction of frame and glass systems in a selected type of window construction, which is currently an important factor of building design that concerns cold and moderate climates. The analysis was based on the laboratory experiment in a climate chamber with a hot box for particular combinations of frame and glass systems (see the appendix). The results show that easily applicable modifications of window constructions could improve their thermal performance. Some potential for further improvement window constructions is also obvious.
