| Abstract |
In this study, we analyzed the annual heating and cooling energy requirements of reference building with 97 certificated windows using TRNSYS 17, to review the applicability of the “Window Energy Consumption Efficiency Rating System” to the office building. The analyzed model was a medium-size office building with lightweight curtain walls and a window-to-wall ratio of 52%. The results are as follow : First, the annual total thermal load was 60,261 to 111,616 kWh and the ratio of heating load to cooling load was 1:9 showing that cooling was the main factor of the thermal load. Second, the total thermal load by SHGC showing an almost perfect linear relationship. The F-test significance probability in the regression model was 0.000 meaning statistical significance and the coefficient of determination was 0.9656 showing high correlation. In contrast, the F-test significance probability in the regression model by U-value was 0.00484 showing statistical significance but the coefficient of determination was 0.0805 showing low correlation. Third, the SHGC of window was the main factor of the total thermal load in the office building. It showed the limitation of subject in “Window Energy Consumption Efficiency Rating System” which was limited to insulation performance and airtight performance. Thus, in to evaluate the window sets in terms of energy saving, the “Window Energy Consumption Efficiency Rating System” with SHGC should be considered. |
