Original Abstract

The paper describes the method for the determination and evaluation of thermal insulation properties of various types of windows made from pine wood. The method has been used for a simple and a double window that are parts of a log house in the Czech Republic. Both windows are located in one room. The method for the evaluation of thermal insulation properties consists in determining the boundary conditions of the frame and sash temperature from the interior and exterior. Additionally, the temperature of the window surroundings was measured, at the building envelope. The boundary conditions were measured by different sensors to ensure an accurate setting of the thermographic camera. Based on the values determined, the method calculates the heat transfer coeffi cient and the temperature factor of the internal surface. Then, the thermal insulation properties of integrated windows can be determined and compared. The priority of this measurement was a basic comparison of thermal insulation properties of two different types of windows located in a log house. This measurement will serve as the basis for a comparison of thermal insulation properties of the same types of windows in different log houses located in regions with different weather conditions. After a comprehensive comparison, based on the results, the right type of window can be recommended with respect to the location of the log house in question.
