Performance of New Active Water flow double–pane windows for Energy management in buildings.

Fernando Del Ama Gonzalo

Abstract :

Buildings account for such a significant amount of the energy consumed in the World. While window glazing will be more and more extensively used in modern architecture, active water-flow window panels are being introduced in the market with a double objective: to reduce energy consumption and to manage solar energy striking on building façades.In order to reach a nearly-zero energy consumption new materials and constructive solutionsare required. Disposing of the heat captured by the water can be achieved in different ways. In hot climates it can either be dissipated together with the building´s other heat loads in whatever refrigeration system is provided, or it can be stored in a tank and cooled down by evaporative refrigeration or night dissipation at a very low energy cost. This article shows real data obtained by means of monitoring real buildings using water flow glass panes.
