Test cell evalutation of supply air windows to characterise their optimum performance and its verification by the use of modelling techniques

A supply air window enables the pre-heating in winter of ventilation air before it enters the room.The window device must entrain into the room the air flow that would otherwise escape, it allows the absorption of the solar radiant energy and a low emissivity coating within the glazing assembly must be correctly located. To achieve a better performance of the window, tests were carried out. A simulation model was built and comparison of the results were made.
