RESUMO

This work present a new concept for thermally effective windows, that is windows which reduce the energy transfer to and fIom the internal ambient. This idea behind this concept is to use a pcm fill in the gap between the two glass panels. The fusion temperature of the pcm is selected according to the thermal cornfort criterion. The investigation includes modeling of the mechanisms of heat transfer relevant to the window problem, the thermal radiation through the glass panels, the optical characterization of conventional and composite window configurations and finally the numerical simulation of these configurations. Because of the lack of information on the thermal and optical properties of national gla~s and specially on the composite configuration optical tests were realized to determine the transmittance and reflectivity of simple glass panels of different thicknesses and spacings, air and pcm filled glass panels and finally coloured pcm filled glass panels. The model is a transient one dimensional and the numerical solution is based upon explicit finite difference scheme. the numerical simulations and the optical tests realized allow the determination of the heat gain, the temperature distribution across the glass panels, the outlet and the inlet instantaneous surface temperatures and finally the overall thermal performance of any glass panels including the proposed system
