ISO 10077-2:2003

Thermal performance of windows, doors and shutters — Calculation of thermal transmittance — Part 2: Numerical method for frames

Scope

ISO 10077-2:2003 specifies a method and gives reference input data for the calculation of the thermal transmittance of frame profiles and of the linear thermal transmittance of their junction with glazings or opaque panels.
The method can also be used to evaluate the thermal resistance of shutter profiles and the thermal characteristics of roller shutter boxes.
ISO 10077-2:2003 also gives criteria for the validation of numerical methods used for the calculation. ISO 10077-2:2003 does not include effects of solar radiation, heat transfer caused by air leakage or three-dimensional heat transfer such as pin point metallic connections. Thermal bridge effects between the frame and the building structure are not included.
