Energy savings potential from prismatic glass structure
University Centre for Energy Efficient Buildings, Czech Technical University in Prague, Trinecka 1024, 273 43 Bustehrad, Czech Republic
The simulation analysis of the potential energy savings from the prismatic glass structure has been provided. The two conventional triple glazings and two proposed triple glazings with prismatic glass have been experimentally tested to obtain the realistic angular selective optical properties. The experimental results have been compared with conventional triple glazing with clear glass panes and triple glazing with solar control pane applied. The comparison indicated high potential advantages of triple glazing with prismatic glass structures (especially for reverse symmetrical prism): low transmittance for high solar altitude–summer condition, high transmittance for low solar altitude–winter condition. The obtained transmittance characteristics were used as input data for the annual simulation of a typical office in the Czech Republic. The simulation has been performed in TRNSYS and TRNBuild software. The gathered results confirmed, that prismatic glass structure can bring energy savings for both cooling and heating energy demands.
