Heat Transfer Resistance and Temperature on Internal Surfaces of Translucent Enclosing Structures of Residential Buildings of Moscow

Based on the analysis of publications, data on the contribution of the use of translucent enclosing structures in the total heat loss of the building are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of the current methods of assessing the applicability of translucent enclosing structures based on the requirements of current regulation documents are described. The method of estimation of translucent structures by the temperature of the inner surface and its verification in full-scale conditions is given. Studies of more than 300 window blocks of various types were carried out, thermal characteristics both of windows, and separate elements of translucent, opaque parts and values of temperature in control points are obtained. The main defects of installation, possible shortcomings of the structural elements and the influence of the location of the window system relative to heating appliances are shown. The statistics of the different thermal characteristics of windows is presented. The assessment of applicability of the tested windows in climatic conditions of Moscow according to requirements of SP 50.13330.2012 in comparison with requirements of one of the previous editions is carried out.
