Abstract
A numerical simulation model is developed to study the thermal perform ance of an outdoor test-room with one Transparently Insulated (TI) wal l. The thermal behavior of the room is examined under different contro l strategies for the shading device. Simulation results indicate signi ficant energy savings. However, appropriate control strategies are req uired to prevent overheating of the room and discomfort. (C) 1998 Publ ished by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
