RESUMO

The glassed surfaces are so fragile concerning gain of heat, allowing the easy entrance of solar radiation in the interior of buildings. The proportion between glassed surfaces and opaque ones of a building is a decisive factor in the environment comfort, as the big glassed areas used without criterion are the principal responsible for the gain of heat in the interior of buildings. The objective of the work is to study the performance of the reflective glasses produced by pyrolitic process and the reflective glasses obtained by vacuum metal deposition in façades with reference to the gain of solar heat. For this, measurements were made in test-cells constructed at UNICAMP with windows with these glasses. Nine types of glasses were analyzed, two float glasses, four reflective glasses produced by pyrolitic process and three reflective glasses obtained by vacuum metal deposition, whose spectrophotometrical characterization was made before. It was analyzed the thermal performance of each glass, having as reference the colorless float glass. The search consisted of the acquisition of results through measurements in field and through the calculation of heat gain. This way, it was possible to make an analysis of the thermal conditions provided by these glasses, checking if they are a good option for the contemporary architecture and if they result in better energy efficiency. Among the analyzed glasses, the reflective glasses obtained by vacuum metal deposition presented the best thermal performance with reference to solar heat gain.
