Testing Chambers
u 4 types of glazing are studied for their dynamic
performance (glare, solar control and visibility). These are:
u Electrochromic glass is glazing
that changes its opacity depending on the amount of sunlight being received.
This is being tested for its light and heat control.
u Photo voltaic glass has dual function of providing shading and generating
power at the same time. This is being tested for its efficiency, impact on
view, shading, heat absorption and re-radiation.
u Double Glazed Unit (DGU) with internal operable glass is being studied for it impact on view, shading and
heat absorption. These consist of blinds between the glasses which can be
turned up during strong sunlight.
u Clear DGU glass is used as a reference for comparison. The air
between the double sheets of windows is thoroughly dried and the space is
sealed air-tight, providing superior insulating properties and eliminating
possible condensation. Double glazing is used in all air conditioned areas.
Single glazing is used in the classrooms and school hall.
