PV Project Thermography - Comparison
(5/20/98)
North Windows
This comparison shows the differences between the single pane windows
installed on the control house and the double-pane argon filled windows in
the PVRES house. The control house photographs were taken at about 1:30PM while
the PVRES photographs were taken at about 12:30PM on the same day. In both
cases the same temperature range was used by the IR camera. Note the lower
wall temperature in the PVRES home (due to exterior insulation) and the lower
glass and window frame temperature.
The temperature range is from 66°F (darkest colors) to 84°F
(lightest colors).
