Assessing the Impact of Glass Properties on EUI, sDA, and ASE
One of the main characteristics of contemporary architecture is the predominant use of glass. Glass establishes a visual connection to the outdoor environment, increases the quality of spaces by allowing daylight into the building, aesthetically
enhances the architectural design, and increases the building’s energy efficiency if used wisely.
Understanding the key property parameters of glass and how they can be modified to reduce the overall energy use and increase the amount of daylight is key to performance driven design. This e-Book presents various properties of glass and is accompanied by an office case study showing how each specific glass property contributes to the overall energy use intensity (EUI) and the daylight quality of buildings.
Key Topics Include:
- Types of glazing properties to consider
- The impact of these properties on energy use intensity
- Case study example
