Next-generation, prefabricated, modular, solar heating and cooling system

该项目旨在开发一种新的窗户设计，可以减少温暖天气下太阳对建筑物的加热，减少凉爽天气下建筑物的热量损失。该项目期望在窗户设计的空腔内太阳辐射和空气对流之间的相互作用方面产生新的知识。预期的结果是一个框架，可用于在各种天气条件下优化建筑物的窗户设计。这将允许在现有和新建筑中快速轻松地制造和实施设计，并且窗户应显着降低建筑供暖和制冷成本。

This project aims to develop a new window design that can reduce the heating of buildings caused by the sun in warm weather and reduce heat loss from buildings in cool weather. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the interaction between solar radiation and the convection of air inside a cavity within the window design. The expected outcome is a framework that can be used to optimize window designs for buildings under various weather conditions. This should allow quick and easy fabrication and implementation of the designs in existing and new buildings, and the windows should significantly reduce building heating and cooling costs.
