Window Manufacturing Software
The need to be creative in design and push the boundaries of what is achievable with window design, store front design and residential properties has come up against the overriding mandate to reduce fuel consumption and radically increase the energy efficiency of windows.
The concept of zero energy homes, whereby buildings do not consume non-renewable energy resources, is being driven worldwide to address the global issues of climate change and energy use. However, to achieve the measures of zero energy, current window designs and their integration with the buildings themselves, require a new generation of technology. One such price of technology which has transformed the fenestration industry is window manufacturing software. Enabling the complete process of design and production to be customised and managed in a step-by-step process enables window manufacturers, architects and designers to test their designs, both for efficiency and aesthetics.
The current trend in the fenestration industry is to create windows that are "climate specific". However, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the future will drive the need to create dynamic fenestration systems that can alter their solar heat gain properties according to the seasonal and climatic variations experienced in the specific region in question. This level of design and manufacturing requires specific fenestration software to empower businesses to produce such results.
The research conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory went further to outline other emerging trends and technologies that are to drastically impact upon the fenestration industry over the next decade. Window design that reduces heat loss has received much attention and will continue to do so, with developments such as vacuum windows, aerogel windows ad improved multi-layer windows being at the fore of this development. Research into reducing the amount of solar heat gain includes improving current applications of e-coatings, light redirecting layers and self shading windows. Electrochromic technologies, the latest technology in window properties design, involve glazing on the windows to increase their efficiency to react to changing climatic and seasonal conditions, with reactive shading systems and light re-directing systems. The future of the fenestration industry demands only the best of window manufacturing software to enable contemporary design to meet the emerging principles of energy efficiency.
