Dynamic insulation applied to the residential building (Part 1). Numerical Evaluation of Window Frame applied Various Dynamic Insulation Patterns

It is important to insulate the glazing or frames of windows efficiently because they usually contribute to some of the greatest heat loss from dwelling houses. To improve window insulation, we propose a new dynamic system applied to window frames. This system is composed of three parts: a dynamic insulation system applied to window frames, a mechanical ventilation system, and a heat-recovery heat pump system. In order to confirm its feasibility, we evaluated various insulation patterns, materials and structures, by computational fluid dynamics.
