ETTV = 12(1 WWR) Uw + 3.4(WWR) Uf
+ 211(WWR) (CF) (SC)
ETTV : envelope thermal transfer value (W/m2 )
WWR : window-to-wall ratio (fenestration area / gross area of exterior wall)
Uw : thermal transmittance of opaque wall (W/m2.K)
Uf : thermal transmittance of fenestration (W/m2.K)
CF : correction factor for solar heat gain through fenestration
SC : shading coefficients of fenestration

design is meaningless without
inclusion of the frame
• Thermally improving your façade
is not only a cold climate strategy
