Energy Performance of Awnings in Residential Buildings
View Saved (0)
Purpose:
This project evaluated the typical use of operable awnings and validated the energy performance of awning products. Awnings were installed on a real house, and measurements were taken to evaluate thermal performance at different positions. The data was used to develop a calibrated energy model to estimate annual energy savings.
Impact:
This report contributes to achieving the US Department of Energy's Building Technologies Office's 2030 strategic goal. The successful outcome will help the Attachment Energy Rating Council expedite the rating program for awning products so that awnings can be considered for inclusion in the EnergyStar program.Theme:
