1. Windows : Optical Performance and Energy Efficiency
Abstract : This thesis treats angle-resolved optical properties and the energy efficiency of windows. A theoretical evaluation of optical and thermal properties of windows is briefly surveyed and the energy performance of a large selection of windows, under different conditions, is examined. In particular, angle dependent optical properties are analysed. READ MORE

2. Windows of Opportunities : The Glazed Area and its Impact on the Energy Balance of Buildings
Abstract : The impact of window area on the energy balance of a building was investigated by simulations in DEROB-LTH. The glazed area was varied in three types of buildings with different types of glazing and for several climates.One low energy house was compared to a less insulated house but identical in size and layout.

3. Optical Characterization and Energy Simulation of Glazing for High-Performance Windows
Abstract : This thesis focuses on one important component of the energy system - the window. Windows are installed in buildings mainly to create visual contact with the surroundings and to let in daylight, and should also be heat and sound insulating. READ MORE

4. External Water Condensation and Angular Solar Absorptance : Theoretical Analysis and Practical Experience of Modern Windows
Abstract : Part I of this thesis is a theoretical background to parts II and III. Part II treats the phenomenon of decreased visibility through a glazing due to external water condensation, dew, on the external surface. Some simulations are presented where it is shown that under certain circumstances condensation can be expected. READ MORE

5. NOUR - Daylighting and thermal effects of windows in desert houses
Abstract : This study is on a combined effect of window, the daylighting and the thermal effects, in desert houses. It is comprised of two complementary studies. In the introduction a historical review on the development of use daylight has been carried out in order to place the case study in a historical perspective. READ MORE
