Thermal Performance of Windows, Doors and Shutters - Calculation of Thermal Transmittance - Part 1: General
Also Known As:
ISO 10077-1:2017 is a standard that provides guidelines for calculating the thermal transmittance of windows, doors, and shutters. The standard focuses on determining the rate of heat transmission through these building components, taking into account factors like glazing, frames, and insulation. It outlines various methods that can be used to calculate thermal transmittance and provides specific requirements for each component.
The standard applies to windows and doors that are commonly used in buildings, whether they are made of opaque or glazed panels. It also covers the inclusion of shutters, which can impact thermal performance. The calculations outlined in ISO 10077-1:2017 enable architects, engineers, and building professionals to assess the energy efficiency of windows, doors, and shutters and make informed decisions in terms of design and material selection.
By providing general guidelines for calculation methods, ISO 10077-1:2017 ensures that consistent and reliable thermal transmittance values are obtained. This helps in comparing and evaluating the performance of different window, door, and shutter systems, allowing for more energy-efficient building designs and reducing heat loss or gain through these components.
