There is an urgent demand worldwide for the implementation of low-energy buildings. Standard glass windows are associated with heat loss issues, and a high risk of moisture condensation due to relatively poor insulating qualities, and these window types are often prone to substantial heat loss via heat conduction. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes an air supply Dynamic Insulation (DI) window system applied to installed windows, combined with a mechanical ventilator. Comparing the DI window and the general vent cap, the general vent cap exhibited a wider temperature distribution than the DI window.
