3.1 Building description 59<br />
Of course <strong>the</strong> visible transmittance <strong>of</strong> <strong>glazing</strong> systems should be calculated for different<br />
environmental conditions:<br />
• outside temperature – 32°C,<br />
• indoor temperature – 24°C,<br />
• windward speed – 2,75 m/s,<br />
• sky temperature – 32°C,<br />
• sky emissivity – 1.0,<br />
• direct <strong>solar</strong> <strong>radiation</strong> flux – 783 W/m 2 .<br />
In <strong>the</strong> current project, hardwood (Meranti) is used for <strong>the</strong> window frame pr<strong>of</strong>iles with <strong>the</strong><br />
following properties:<br />
• projected frame dimension – 60 mm,<br />
• material absorption – 0.9,<br />
• frame U-value – 1.9 W/m 2 K.<br />
The parameters <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> six <strong>glazing</strong> systems will be utilized in fur<strong>the</strong>r energy simulations <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> whole building.<br />
U-value <strong>of</strong> building assemblies<br />
The U-value describes <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> heat flow per unit area through a single building<br />
assembly in steady-state conditions. The insulation characteristic <strong>of</strong> each structural<br />
building component is presented in Table 3.5.<br />
