Developing a multiple glazing system to minimize transmission of direct insolation for particular latitudes [PDF]
, 2006 Too often, in the last 50 years, the energy-thrift lessons of vernacular architecture have been forgotten or ignored. In the Middle East, many recently-designed commercial buildings, with large areas of glazing, incur excessively high electricity ...

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Selecting and Installing Energy-Efficient Windows to Improve Dwelling Sustainability
Vitruvio: International Journal of Architectural Technology and Sustainability, 2017 Windows play a significant role in achieving comfort in buildings by letting in natural light, solar warmth, fresh air and permitting outdoor views. On the other hand, poor quality windows can be the source of overheating or unwanted infiltration or ...
