TESTING AND MODELLING OF THE ANGULAR-DEPENDENT SOLAR HEAT GAIN OF GLAZING WITH VENETIAN BLIND SHADING

As overheating problems in glassy buildings came up more and more, EMPA put a focus on the determination and modelling of the total solar energy transmittance (TSET) of multiple glazing combined with different shading systems within the framework of IEA Task 27 "Performance, durability and sustainability of solar faade components". Experimental data were produced by a calorimetric outdoor test facility near Zurich (Switzerland).
