4 Effect of façade on interior 20 deep perimeter zone is affected by external environment Stable interior zone Always requires cooling

5 Climate impacts of glazing alone Single Glaze Double Glaze (No Low-E coating) High Performance Double Glaze (Low-E Coating) Triple Glaze (Low E-Coating) 5

12 Why window wall ratio matters so much Conduction Heat Transfer = U * area * T (11F) 72 F 83 F = 72 F 83 F 4 sf of R-13 (U-0.075) = ONE sf of fully shaded insulated low e glass (U=0.3) 72 F 83 F = 72 F 83 F 65 sf of R-13 = ONE sf of unshaded insulated westfacing low-e glass (SHGC = 0.25) Solar heat gain = Btu/hr/sf solar x SHGC

SHGC 0.25 X 40% WWR + 0SHGC X (1-40%)= 0.1 prescriptive code compliance SHGC 0.37 x?% WWR + 0SHGC X (1-WWR) = 0.1 WWR = 0.27 match to prescriptive façade energy budget, but if pursuing performance method, base building would match any WWR lower than 40%. SHGC? X 100% WWR = 0.1 SHGC = 0.1
