• Architectural Design:
–Exterior sunshading
–Glare Control
–Appropriate window:wall ratio
• High Performance Glazing Requirements:
–Main focus = heat loss (low-U value)
–Solar Heat Gain Coefficient not as important (sunshading)
–Visible Light Transmittance not as important
–Same glazing used in almost all locations.
WINSTON PREP SCHOOL
Norwalk, CT (6100 degree-days)
• Classroom Building with meeting rooms and offices:
–Maximize Daylight Autonomy (goal = 100%)
–Optimize daylighting and heat loss in teaching spaces, offices
–Optimize heat loss in public areas, etc.
• High Performance Glazing:
–Multiple glazing types for different needs
–Mostly triple pane insulated glass units (limited double pane)
–Fibertec Windows
–Cardinal Glass: Lo?2-180®, Lo?2-272®, Lo?³-272®
–Etched glass for light diffusion in selected locations
