Abstract During the following research project, effects of an electrically heated window on thermal comfort parameters permanently occupied spaces were examined. A manikin and a Testo 400 comfort-meter used for tests. To characterize space, predicted mean vote percentage dis-satisfied method was applied. The examination indices took place in vicinity glass. measurements surface temperature glaz...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the translucency of two different all-ceramic systems using Vita Easyshade digital shade matching device in an in vitro model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Translucency of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max Press) and zirconia all-ceramic system (Ceramill ZI) were evaluated and compared. A total of 5 square-shaped specimens with 0...

The new paradigm of Net Zero Energy buildings is a challenge for architects and engineers, especially in with large glazing areas. Water Flow Glazing (WFG) dynamic façade technology shown to reduce heating cooling loads significantly. Photovoltaic panels placed on building roofs can generate enough electricity from solar energy without generating greenhouse gases operation or taking up other fo...

Thermal performances of window frames and glazing represent a field growing research efforts - worldwide aiming to reduce energy consumption achieve indoor comfort. A combination newly designed super-insulated innovative technologies may enhance the performance windows. Aerogel-based “thermal breaks” for frames, coupled with high-performing glazing, lead significant saving. In this work, yearly...
