Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

The aim of the WINDAT network is to make available and widely distribute a free, Europe at software tool with high quality input and output for the calculation of the thermal and solar properties of commercial and innovative window systems on the basis of known component (glazings, shading devices, frames and edges, gases) properties and thermal and solar/optical interactions between the components. Both for standard product information (based on routines from European standards) and for more advanced calculations 'design conditions) and for innovative products for which no European standards exist yet. Collectively supported and used in research, industry, standardisation, education and design throughout Europe to compare, select and promote innovative windows and window components for the optimum use of renewable energy (solar gains and daylight), highest energy savings (thermal insulation) and the best indoor comfort (solar shading, daylight quality).
