Abstract
The work in this report sets out to determine the thermal performance that can be expected when a proprietary polycarbonate honeycomb transparent insulation material (TIM) is used to clad the opaque walls of buildings in the UK. The installation of a second TIM clad wall at the Energy Monitoring Company Test Site is described, outlining how it was matched to the wall used in the previous trial. The summertime performance of the walls, one with and one without a blind, is analysed. Parameters are outlined which allow the model SERI-RES to be used to represent a TIM clad wall. The appropriateness of the model and those parameters is confirmed by using the model to simulate the performance of the wall under measured climate, and comparing those simulations with the actual measured performance. The model is used to predict the potential performance of a single family dwelling house equipped with a range of sizes of TIM wall, in a variety of occupancy patterns and insulation levels. In this way improved estimates of the wintertime energy savings are obtained, and the potential for summertime overheating is explored. (UK).
