Operable Insulation System
OBJECTIVE To test the effectiveness of rigid exterior operable window insulation systems. PLACEMENT • Indoor • Outdoor Rationale: • Prevent solar gain • Minimize condensation on glazing MECHANICS • Roll-up • Sliding • Shutter Rationale: • To obtain a tighter seal • To allow for operation under circumstances imposed by Control Cell (e.g. physical constraints of shading panel)

Observations • • • • • • •
Significantly more temperature readings fell within the comfort zone for the Experimental Cell (center) than the Control Cell (center) During warm periods, the Experimental Cell (center) maintained much cooler temperatures than the Control Cell (center) During cool periods, the Experimental Cell (center) maintained higher temperatures slightly longer than the Control Cell (center) During cool periods, the Experimental Cell (near window) behaved similarly to the Control Cell (center) Relative to the Control Cell, the operable insulation system generally performed better during the day than at night As expected, the current configurations (panels open at night, closed during day) performed better during warmer days Panels could have been closed earlier at night/early morning to prevent heat loss and maintain temperatures within the comfort zone longer

Implications: Second Test + Schedule Smart Test Keeping all other parameters the same, use a more sensitive set of conditions for opening/closing the insulation panels based on temperature: • If IndoorTemp < 68F and OutdoorTemp < IndoorTemp, then CLOSED • If IndoorTemp < 68F and OutdoorTemp > IndoorTemp, then OPEN • If IndoorTemp > 75F and OutdoorTemp < IndoorTemp, then OPEN • If IndoorTemp > 75F and OutdoorTemp > IndoorTemp, then CLOSED
