主 题:Glazed balconies thermal comfort hot tropical region.
摘 要:The balcony is responsible to a series of effects on the environmental behavior of a building,mainly in relation of thermal comfort and air distribution to their indoor *** a very common practice in several metropolitan areas is the closing with retractable glass panels in balcony *** work analyzed the effects of glazed balconies upon thermal comfort in a hot tropical *** parameters were carried out in a flat alternating the conditions of retractable glass panels to *** simulations were performed considering closing or not the glass door that divides the balcony room;the building material used on the balcony sill;and the use of curtains or shading *** results show the maximum mean hourly temperatures recorded on the balcony during the period when the retractable glass panels were closed,reaching peaks between 31.7 and 39.2°C,above the comfort range recommended by ASHRAE *** situations simulated show the thermal discomfort prevails in the use of the closed glass panels reaching DhTD of 94.55°C/***,this practice of using most of the closed retractable glass panels in the balconies presents disadvantages and inefficiencies especially in hot and humid tropical climate regions.
