Abstract

In the tropics, glazed façade is the cause of large solar heat gains into the buildings, thus the aim of this study is to achieve a low cost alternative solar control glazing. The study has experimentally and numerically investigated the potential of a Sustainable Solar Tinted Film as alternative indicator for reducing energy consumption during daytime . The analysis is done for Faculty Engineering Technology (FTK) Univesiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), and the results have showed the effectiveness of Sustainable Solar Tinted Film in reducing the solar heat (infrared) transmittance and maximizing the daylight (visible light) transmittance. About more than 30% of the short-wave solar radiation are absorbed by the thin solar film. The Solar Tinted film in question does not obstruct the visible light, but in fact it increases its transmittance. The study concluded that the “Solar Tinted Film” is appropriate in improving thermal and visual comfort and reducing the cooling loads for glazed buildings in the FTK. Solar Tinted film are easy to found and hence it will cause no problem to use a small fraction of it to enhance the solar-optical and thermal properties of glazed buildings. Internal heat is not only cause by solar radiation while other cooling load such as personal computer, lighting and number of occupant also the main factor the temperature increment. Hence, internal temperature can be create many other factor.
