SITumbra - Energy Efficient Structurally Integrated Transparent Shaded Facade System

摘要

SITumbra is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) P3 award winning product [1] comprising a multi-use transparent structural window system made from a customizable fixed inner structural core compositely connected to outer transparent window materials. It can be configured to meet multiple material and design specifications and reduce maximum heating and cooling demands based on building location and orientation. SITumbra is expected to perform highly in the market place because of its unique product characteristics, specifically green building development applications. Ongoing full scale prototype thermal testing has been conducted resulting in improved energy efficiencies of 25% compared to an aluminum framed low e double glazed window system.
