Thermal simulation 2D thermal bridge simulation with AnTherm® (EN ISO 10077) Uw = 1,1 W/m²K Ueff = 0,5 W/m²K
Thermal simulation Dynamic simulation with TRNSYS and semi-synthetic reference year (PV-GIS + METEONORM) according to ÖNORM EN ISO 13790 und ÖNORM EN ISO 10077 Type of inner Window: • Historical window (Uw=3,0 W/m²K, g=0,76) • Conventional window (Uw=1,1 W/m²K, g=0,60) • Passive-house window (Uw=0,8 W/m²K, g=0,51) Types of climate zones: • Eastern Austria (Vienna, 220 m) • Western Austria (Innsbruck, 574 m) • Alpine (Heiligenblut am Großglockner, 1302 m) Types of insulating shutters: • Panel material (Up=0,16 W/m²K) • Frame material (Uf=2,5 W/m²K) summer winter • average daily temperature of < 10 °C = night closure from sunset to 07:00 + open position winter • average daily temperature of > 10 °C = no night closure + open position summer

PASSIVE-HOUSE WINDOW: Simulation boundaries Type of inner Window: • Conventional window (Uw=1,1 W/m²K, g=0,60) • Passive-house window (Uw=0,8 W/m²K, g=0,51) Type of insulating shutter: • Panel material (Up=0,16 W/m²K) • Frame material (Uf=2,5 W/m²K) Orientation • South Type of climate zone: • Eastern Austria (Vienna, 220 m)
Simulation results INSULATING SHUTTER VS. PASSIVE-HOUSE WINDOW:
Conclusion Depending on the quality of the inner window, an improvement of the U-value between 50 % and 80 % can be achieved. It can be said that an apartment with insulating shutter combination in Vienna is always accounting better for around 10 kWh/m²NFA then a apartment with passive house window. The addition of an insulating shutter is quite an alternative to window replacement. Optimization through improved control of insulating shutters is quite possible.
