Fundamentally, the building envelope has toblock out heat gain into buildings via conduction

MS1525:2007 Clause 5.1 says



block out heat gain into buildings via conductionand radiation.

In other words, the building envelope shallprovide resistance to heat gain.

THERMAL RESISTANCETHERMAL RESISTANCE


Heat energy flows from a hot object to a cooler object. Whenever there is a temperature gradient, heat transferwill always occur. It can never be stopped, and it can only be slowed.

1. In heat transfer, the Thermal Conductivity, k of a

material is its ability to conduct heat.

2. Generally, thermal conductivity approx tracks

Relationships between thermal resistance, thermal conductivity and U-value



2. Generally, thermal conductivity approx tracks electrical conductivity, as moving electrons transfer not only electric current, but also heat energy.

3. Therefore, heat conductivity through layers of

materials in a composite wall construction is

analogous to adding up the resistance in an

electric circuit connected in series.

4. Thermal Resistance, R of each material is

R = (material thickness) ÷ (thermal conductivity, k)

5. Increasing the thickness of the material will




5. Increasing the thickness of the material will increase its thermal resistance.

6. In a composite wall construction, the total R is

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 +…...+ Rn.

7. Therefore, Rtotal is the sum of the thermal resistance of all the respective materials making up the composite wall.

8. U-value of the wall is the heat transmission value of the composite wall in W/m2K, and is inversely proportional to the total R,




proportional to the total R,

ie,

U = 1 / Rtotal.

9. The higher the R, the lower the U, the better.

2. Standard black is 0, standard white is 1;

3. Materials with the highest SRI values arethe best (and coolest!) choices for roofing.

The albedo of an object or a surface is the extent to which it reflects light from the Sun.

Generally, a light coloured surface has a higher albedo. It is shown as SRI, and ranges from 0 to 1.

the glass, relative to a 3mm clear glass tested under similar conditions. A low value means less heat passes through the glass.

Eg, a glazing with a SC of 0.45 would allow only 45% as much solar energy to pass through as would a 3mm clear glass.


2.Visible Light Transmittance (VLT)

is the fraction of visible light at a specified

wavelength that passes through the glass. Usually

Heat insulation of the IGUs can be further improved

- hard coat or soft coat

DAYLIGHTING STRATEGIES


1. Locate a continuous strip of narrow windows up high.

2. Add a few view windows for visual connection to the outside. These have a low visible transmittance (VLT 0.2 to 0.3), to balance the luminance of the walls with the luminance of the outside. Every work place in the building should have view windows.

3. Introduce light “eggshell” white color in the upper part of the room to bounce the light across the room.

4. Add mid-to-light colors in the lower part of the room.
