Investigation of effect of wall insulation thickness on window areas

Abstract

In this study, effect of insulation thickness on glass area has been investigated numerically. For this purpose, glass area on the wall having different insulation thicknesses was increased from %0 to %100 with an ratio of %10 and, heat gain and losses according to be single glass and double glass of window were calculated. After calculations for all wall orientations had been repeated, results obtained were presented for summer and winter conditions as graphics. Consequently, it was seen that effect of insulation thickness on glass area was bigger in winter.
