Energy performance of wooden frames

Wooden energy frames

energy efficiency and thermal protection are now imperative for every building. The European Union aims to implement the Strategy for the energy saving of buildings. Particularly important in all this is the role of frames. The type, the construction material and also their placement shape the exchange rate of the thermal energy of the interior spaces with the external environment.

In an energy-efficient wooden frame, the factor Uw (U window) is quite small. This means that it exhibits small losses and, by extension, has a high thermal insulating power.

Wooden energy frames - Energy behavior of the frame

In addition to the Uw factor, the energy performance of the wooden frame is influenced by other equally important factors. These factors need to be taken into account at the design and construction stage of the frame in order to obtain an even result.

Resistance to wind pressure.

This specific term measures the deformation that the frame presents to the pressure exerted by the air. It is one of the main quality indicators of a wooden frame.

Waterproof.

This term indicates from the most point and then the water penetrates the frame and enters the interior space. The most effective way of proper waterproofing is the perimeter rubbers of the frame.

Wind permeability.

This index is what determines, in addition to the energy, the soundproofing performance of a frame.

Which type of frame gives the best energy efficiency.

The typology of a frame clearly significantly affects its energy performance. Based on the measurements that have been made, the frame type with perimeter sealing shows the best performance.

Are there other contributing factors?

The glass that will be used contributes equally to the overall energy properties of a frame. Depending on their typology, they increase or decrease the level of sound insulation and thermal insulation.
