Journal Article
Sun, Y., Liang, R., Wu, Y., Wilson, R., & Rutherford, P. (2018). Glazing systems with Parallel Slats Transparent Insulation Material (PS-TIM): evaluation of building energy and daylight performance. Energy and Buildings, 159, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.10.026

Being responsible for a significant proportion of total heat loss in façade dominated buildings, the design and specification of the envelope, particularly the building’s glazing system, is a key factor in determining overall energy consumption. To a... Read More about Glazing systems with Parallel Slats Transparent Insulation Material (PS-TIM): evaluation of building energy and daylight performance.
