| Abstract |
The purpose of study is to evaluate appropriateness of using low-e glazing for each frame to resist condensation on window. Also, it is to show a methodology to figure out how serious the condensation is going to be made through algorithm by weater data in apartment houses with condensation occurrence. Recently, many units in apartment try to extend the area of their own unit by extending their balcony in unit. Because the area of extended balcony has reasonably low mean radiant temperature due to lack of insulation, it causes one of the serious problem which is condensation. In our study, normal double glazing and Low-E coating double glazing has been applied to three kinds of frames, and the temperature has been measured by numerical method of simulation and experiment. To check the degree of efficiency of condensation, Seoul weather data has been used to count the hour that occurred condensation and then made the ratio of condensation for all windows. Consequently, frame with Low-e coating glazing has good performance to resist condensation a lot more than frame with the normal double glazing has. |
