Original Abstract

Heritage listed buildings, or their parts, are subject to the decisions of state authorities in the field of heritage preservation. When windows are reconstructed, the requirements concerning the new design are most often based on the original appearance of the windows. In the case of double windows - the traditional style with space and reveal in between - the outer window is installed with insulated glazing while the inner window has a simple glazing, in order to meet the conditions of thermal related technical standards. For this reason, the contact between the window frame and the reveal must be tight with very low air permeability. The article presents the measurements of surface temperatures of both of the window parts and explores the issue of thermal humidity condition in the area between the windows.

Keywords
