Research on the Reduction Effect of Transparent Glass on Cooling Power Energy Consumption
Research on the Reduction of Cooling and Heating Loads by Transparent Solar Heat Absorbing Glass Panels (Part 2)

Abstract

Based on an experimental study, this paper discusses the savings obtained by various kinds of single-layer and double-layer glass panels on the cooling power consumption in the air-conditioning of buildings. Heat transfer coefficients are measured in order to evaluate the savings obtained. Results show that double-layer glass panels offer significantly larger savings compared to single-layer glass panels, and the flow of the air layer within the double-layer glass panels is not significantly helpful to improve the energy-saving effects. It is also found that the Low-E glass material has the greatest reduction effects.
