Analyses of the effect of glass types on indoor thermal environment in glass curtain buildings

Taking an exhibition centre as the model, simulates the indoor thermal environment in glass curtain walled buildings with the EnergyPlus and the thermal comfort calculation programme by the authors. Puts emphasis on analyzing the influence of glass types and the ratio of window/wall areas on indoor thermal environment. The calculating results of PMV value in different positions show that the position relative to curtain wall has a great effect on human thermal comfort.
