er den nye beregningsmodel, som i høj grad fremover

vil blive anvendt til at vurdere vinduers samlede Energi

Performance.

Modellen modregner den passive solenergi, der kommer

ind gennem ruden, med den varme, der forsvinder ud

gennem karm-/rammekonstruktionen. Den tager desuden

udgangspunkt i en typisk fyringssæson, hvor energige-

vinsten er målbar. Optimale værdier for vinduer opnås

således i en kombination af slanke profiler med meget lave

U-værdier og store glasflader.

Uden at gå på kompromis med arkitektens valgfrihed

inden for åbningstyper giver Futura + alene i sin konstruk-

tion og materialevalg markedets hidtil bedste værdier i den

nye E

It is the intention of the UK government

1)

that all new

homes in England and Wales will be carbon-neutral from

2016. To achieve this, the energy efficiency standards for

new homes will be gradually improved by 25% in 2010 and

by 44% in 2013, relative to 2006 standards. It is also the

ambition that all new non-domestic buildings will be carbon-

neutral from 2019, starting with a 25% improvement of the

energy efficiency standard in 2010.

Energy-efficient windows and doors are a very important

element in achieving these objectives, but the use of

energy-efficient windows is equally important when

renovating existing buildings.

In the revised Part L (2010), the Window Energy Rating

scheme is being introduced as a tool to ensure that all

aspects of the energy performance of windows are being

assessed in a standardised way. The WER takes into

account the thermal heat loss (U-value), the solar energy

heat gain (g-value) and the ventilation heat loss (L-factor).

The future requirement for replacement windows is

expected to be WER band C.

Idealcombi has designed Futura + with slim profiles,

exceptionally low U-values and double weather seals to

achieve the best possible rating.
