Simulating Switchable Glazing with EnergyPlus: An Empirical Validation and Calibration of a Thermotropic Glazing Model
Favoino, Fabio; Cascone, Ylenia; Bianco, Lorenza; Goia, Francesco; Zinzi, Michele; Overend, Mauro; Serra, Valentina; Perino, Marco (Chapter, 2015)Adaptive transparent building envelope technologies could play a significant role in decreasing energy use in buildings and providing a more comfortable indoor environment. In order to evaluate these potentials in an ... -
Spectral and angular solar properties of a PCM-filled double glazing unit
Goia, Francesco; Zinzi, Michele; Carnielo, Emiliano; Serra, Valentina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Phase change materials (PCMs) have been proposed as a means to increase the thermal inertia of glazing systems. These materials have optical features that need to be investigated and characterised in order to ... -
Thermal and optical properties of a thermotropic glass pane: Laboratory and in-field characterization
Bianco, Lorenza; Goia, Francesco; Serra, Valentina; Zinzi, Michele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Switchable windows are glazing technologies that exhibit dynamic optical properties and may thus be used to improve the energy performance of buildings. A window system based on a thermotropic glass pane was tested both ...
