Estimating Heat Gain Using Window Filming in Different Geographies

Many disasters are occurring around the world in connection with global warming. Many studies are being carried out to find ways to reduce emission levels of greenhouse gases. Reducing fossil fuel consumption is the most common method used to reduce emissions. In this study, the heat gain of a model building with specific window film properties is estimated. The results are presented comparatively for three film types coated on clear and tinted glass. The heat gain estimation is performed adaptively for summer days considering geographical location, glazing, building and humidity characteristics. Estimations are made for seven types of window films. A cost analysis is carried out considering the location, temperature and façade of the sample building.
