In the quest for energy efficiency, double glazing windows have globally become a popular choice for facade insulation. The performance of these windows however, can vary significantly due to factors such as thermal bridges, manufacturing defects, and installation quality decay. To optimize the insulation performance of windows, understanding the heat flux patterns across the window is crucial. EKO HF-01S is the perfect tool for performing full-scale measurements and understanding the pattern of heat flux on the surface of glazing. Traditional methods like temperature measurement and IR thermography provide surface temperature data though fall short in offering a complete picture as well as the rate of heat transfer, missing critical insights into insulation performance. On the contrary, heat flux measurements using heat flux sensors provide precise and quantitative data regarding the heat transfer rate, allowing for the identification of weak points in insulation that might not be apparent through temperature measurement alone. By placing these sensors at strategic points, such as the center and edges of the window, one can find the heat flux mapping and gather detailed information on heat transfer patterns. Identifying insulation weak points with in-situ data promotes cost savings by pinpointing energy loss.
