- Abstract
When renovating an existing building, keeping the original window and installing added convex window is beneficial for the reduction of heating energy demand. This solution is free of the disposal and/or recycling of demolition waste. In the summer season as far as the transparent structures of the building are concerned, in general, heat protection has to be used. In the case of the added convex window, it can be provided by the external air curtain mode; the movable shading device is in the buffer zone. This is a well-protected place for it, so that it can be as simple and cheap as an inner shading device. In this article examinations of the efficiency of the external air curtain mode for the heat protection is presented. The summer overheating has been analysed in two experimental huts. It has been proven that simple shading device in added convex window tempers the summer overheating as efficiently as the combination of usual window and external shading device (which is exposed to heavy weather effects and is difficult to maintain).
