2 Technological Breakrough

3 Why is aluminum the favorite framing material? Structural performance Long term durability Design flexibility (extrudable) Finishing capabilities (coating, anodizing) Recyclability Corrosion resistance What are the aluminum disadvantages : Heat Gain Condensation

4 What is a Thermal break system? Main function of thermal break systems: SEPARATE AN ALUMINUM PROFILE IN TWO PARTS USING ISOLATING STRIPS TO REDUCE THE THERMAL TRANSMISSION. Conductivity of aluminum: 160 W/mK Conductivity of polyamide: 0.3 W/mK From 40 to 80% ENERGY SAVING IN CONDITIONING

5 Why Polyamide? Energy savings 500 times better insulator than Aluminum (Material Conductivity) Structural performance properly transfers loads due to inclusion of glass fibers in 3D positioning Same rate of expansion and contraction as aluminum long term durability, quality, and water-tightness Chemically resistant to chemicals commonly used in fabrication, construction, and cleaning of windows High melting temperature no thermal distortion with a resistance to minimum 250 deg. C Possibility to Powder Coat or Anodize with the Aluminum profiles Bi-Color profiles you can have a different aluminum color inside and another outside Dimensional stability optimal tolerance control to 0.05mm 50 years of global field experience confidence

6 Thermal transmittance of a frame - Uf

7 How Does Energy Flow Through a Window? 40 C 20 C

8 Thermal transmittance of a frame - Uf Warm (40 C) CONDUCTION through solids (about 50% of the energy flow) Cold (20 C) RADIATION from a warmer surface to a colder surface AIR CONVECTION currents circulation in the cavity (about 35% of the energy flow) (about 15% of the energy flow) Applying countermeasures for reduction of one of the energy transfer through one way will change these percentages and will require measures against transfers through the other ways.

11 Thermal transmittance of a frame - Uf U f value can be calculated or measured with one of the following methods: Precise numerical calculation of Uf value of a frame (97% Accuracy) EN ISO : 2017 FLIXO, BISCO, WIN ISO NFRC 100A 2014 THERM Hot Box Laboratory test to measure the Uf value of a frame (100% Accuracy) UNI EN ISO AAMA

12 Conduction The main application against conduction trough material is the THERMAL BREAK. No Thermal Break Uf = 6.85 W/ m 2 K 16 mm Flat Thermal Break Uf = 4.12 W/ m 2 K 30 mm Flat Thermal Break Uf = 3.21 W/ m 2 K 30 mm C Thermal Break Uf = 2.96 W/ m 2 K

13 Convection Once the Width of the Thermal break is increasing, the conductivity is replaced by an increased convection.

14 Convection To reduce the convection, the Thermal break cavities should be divided

15 Convection The main applications on Thermal Break insulators for breaking the Convection are : Alignments, Complex Gaskets, Insulators with fins, Foam Filled Cavities 30 mm C & CT Uf = 2.74 W/ m 2 K 30 mm C, CT, HK & Complex Gasket Uf = 2.66 W/ m 2 K 30 mm C, CT with Fins, HK & Complex Gasket Uf = 2.33 W/ m 2 K 30 mm C, CT, HK PA Foam Filling & Complex Gasket Uf = 2.24 W/ m 2 K

16 Convection Further Improvements PA FOAM PA FOAM

17 Radiation In some cases, after reducing the conductivity and the convection, Radiation of Heat can take over the energy transfer. In this case, We can prpose Heat reflective foil on internal fins

18 Thermal transmittance of a Facade - Ucw Ucw = σ Utj Atj + σ Ug Ag + σ Us As Acw Us As Ug Ag Utj Atj

19 Thermal transmittance of a Thermal Joint- Utj Thermal Joint Combination of a Curtain Wall frame (Mullion or Transom) with one or two filling elements Glass/Spandrel/Cladding/Other. Utj is the equivalent of the Uf, corrected with the Linear Transmission Coefficient of the Filling Elements. U tj value can be calculated or measured with one of the following methods: Precise numerical calculation of Uf value of a frame (97% Accuracy) EN ISO : 2017 FLIXO, BISCO, WIN ISO NFRC 100A 2014 Hot Box Laboratory test to measure the Uf value of a frame (100% Accuracy) UNI EN ISO AAMA THERM

20 Facades Weak Points - UCW GLAZING In many cases IGU performance is disproportionate with the Project or regulation UCW requirement Frequency of the mullions Distance between the mullions sometimes <1000 mm Architect s visual requirements ( openings between IGU > 10 mm, Pressure Plate Covers with special designs ) Adaptor Elements for Mullions/Transoms with Single Filling elements Glass or Spandrel in only one side. IGU Spacer can be the main heat conductor inside the room if Aluminium Spacer is used (especially for Structural Silicone Facades Glass Perimeter Profiles made in Aluminium in Unitized Facades Restricted space for Classic Thermal break
