Abstract:

The proposed work is devoted to the study and analysis of the influence of roller shutter systems on the thermophysical characteristics of the fillings of light openings of buildings and structures. Since a significant part of the territory of the Russian Federation is characterized by periods of the year accompanied by a decrease in ambient temperature (the cold season), energy conservation issues are of particular importance and are most relevant in the context of current economic conditions. One of the characteristic features of the cold season is the shortening of the daylight period. This time can be effectively used to reduce heat losses through the light openings of buildings and structures and increase the energy efficiency of external enclosing structures in general, through the use of roller shutter systems. In the presented work, a study of the thermophysical characteristics of fragments of various types of enclosing structures for a given construction area, containing a light opening, in the filling of which a roller shutter system is provided. The study was carried out using methods of analysing regulatory and technical documentation, scientific publications of Russian and foreign scientists, and the method of computer modelling of thermal fields based on the finite element method, which resulted in obtaining heat loss values through the studied fragments of enclosing structures and temperature distribution over the entire thickness of the filling of the light opening. The results obtained confirmed the effectiveness of using roller shutter systems as part of filling light openings in order to increase the energy efficiency of external enclosing structures, reduce heat losses through filling light openings and increase their thermal protection qualities.
