Thermal performance

Insulation

Insulation of the façade is guaranteed by 137 mm thick glass wool panels, in the opaque parts of the façade. Glass wool insulates the façade thermally and acoustically as well. The insulation of the façade in the open parts is guaranteed by triple insulating glass (6-18-4-18-4) with an E -coating and filled with Argon.

U- & R-value

The thermal performance of the façade has been investigated by calculating the Rc-value and the U-value of a closed and an open component. The values of each component have been compared with the standard values from the Bouwbesluit.

For the opaque component, the aluminium cladding has not been taken into account. The contribution would not have influenced the Rc-value in a significant way. The aluminium cladding
