    ROOF WINDOWS INTRODUCTION Consultation with the architect helps make decision 8 www.fakro.com Loft Conversion-planning Building or renovation of a house is an investment which requires not only financial expenditure, but also considered decisions and solutions. Each matter should be discussed with professionals who will ad- vise the best way of solving problems. When deciding how and where to place roof windows you should consult an architect, who will help you to choose the right window type depending on the proposed use of the loft. He will also give you advice concerning the window’s glass surface area decided by the ratio to the total floor area and also where to place the win- dows to gain the maximum benefit. Nowadays roof windows are often an indispensable element of newly built structures. They create new, unique, individual possibilities.

  • Influence of Roof Windows Area Changes on the Classroom
    sustainability Article Influence of Roof Windows Area Changes on the Classroom Indoor Climate in the Attic Space: A Case Study Erika Dolnikova * , Dusan Katunsky , Marian Vertal and Marek Zozulak Institute of Architectural Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Kosice, 042 00 Kosice, Slovakia; [email protected] (D.K.); [email protected] (M.V.); [email protected] (M.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +421-055-602-4162 Received: 28 April 2020; Accepted: 17 June 2020; Published: 20 June 2020 Abstract: Windows are a complex part of building design and provide a considerable benefit, including to school buildings. For the evaluation of the daylighting conditions prevailing in classrooms, the daylight factor (DF) was considered as the most appropriate parameter for indicating the quantity of admitted daylight. The DF values and CIE overcast sky were calculated using Velux Daylight Visualizer 3 software. The task of the paper is to compare various roof window openings in relation to the level of daylight in the attic, looking to optimize the use of the attic for teaching. The indoor air temperature has a general influence on comfort in the interior, in addition to daylight. In winter, the situation is not critical. The thermal insulation properties of packaging structures are sufficient. The situation is worse in summer, due to the fact that the heat-storage properties are undersized and there is excessive overheating of the indoor air. Four variants of roof windows and their influence on the overall microclimate in the attic are compared. The variant without roof windows is a suitable solution with regard to minimum overheating, but the worst situation for daylight.

  • Glazing Vision Guide to Rooflights and Roof Window
    guide to rooflights & roof windows We all have a predilection to well lit, airy and inviting spaces, so increasing the use of glazing products in the built environment can be an efficient way of improving an internal space. There are a number of products available that offer varying degrees of natural daylight and ventilation in the form of rooflights and roof windows. While most people will be familiar with these products, what are the key differences between them and which one should be specified in a given application? Rooflight or roof window? Roof windows are The simplest way to answer this question is to first consider the roof type that your product is going to be installed; is it a flat roof or a pitched roof? In most cases a rooflight will be installed usually installed on on a flat roof or terrace and fixed to an upstand or kerb with a minimum pitch of around 3-5° a pitched roof of Roof windows are usually installed on a pitched roof of 15° or 15° or more. more; normally these are designed to allow installation up to a maximum 60°, with some products being able to be fixed up to 90°. t. 01379 658300 Sawmills Road, Diss, e.

  • 901 Monticello Avenue Parcel ID: 570060000 DHR Resourc
    DHR Resource Number: 104-5082-0164 901 MONTICELLO AVENUE Street Address: 901 Monticello Avenue Parcel ID: 570060000 DHR Resource Number: 104-5082-0164 Primary Resource: Single Dwelling (contributing) Secondary Resource: Garage (contributing) Date: 1946 Style: Minimal Traditional Property Description Site Description: Monticello Avenue (State Route 20) is the main thoroughfare through the Belmont neighborhood. The road winds into the south end of the neighborhood and extends to the west where it intersects with Avon Street. Development in Belmont first occurred north of Monticello Avenue with the southern section of the neighborhood developing in the mid- to late-twentieth century. The road was widened around 1960 (when the new Avon Street bridge was constructed) and today serves as a major tourism and commuter route into Downtown Charlottesville. This property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Monticello Avenue and Meridian Street. The front yard is enclosed by a chain link fence and a wooden fence encloses the rear yard. Large trees are planted in the front and back of the property. Primary Resource Description: This one-story, L-shaped dwelling is of concrete block construction with a brick veneer (stretcher bond). The house is covered by a side-facing gable roof of asphalt shingles with a projecting front-facing gable- roofed wing. A stout brick chimney is centrally located on the side-facing roof ridge line. The three-bay front elevation (south) of the side wing holds an entrance with a paneled wooden door and two six-over-six wooden sash windows. A single six-over-six window is present in the end of the projecting gable wing.

  • An Innovative, Panelized Roof System for Residential Construction
    An Innovative, Panelized Roof System for Residential Construction Leonard J. Morse-Fortier, Massachusetts Institute of Technology In 1985, MIT founded the Innovative Housing Construction Technologies Program to explore ways to improve conventional wood-frame construction. Charged with identifying how existing materials and innova- tions could be exploited to improve building performance, speed construction, or reduce cost, the group focused on the roof as one aspect of construction that had grown increasingly complex (and so expensive), but which was usually uninhabitable because of the proliferation of roof trusses. In developing a panelized roof system, the primary goal was to create a single coherent scheme to serve the greatest possible range of applications. Emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of recovering the enclosed volume for habitation, and recognizing the need to accommodate a wide range of building types, the roof system supports hips and valleys and serves both as structure and insulated / ventilated envelope. As designed and constructed (for proof-of-concept and as part of the IBACoS Demonstration Project), the system consists of stressed-skin panels and a structural ridge beam, triangular in cross-section, and hollow. The ribbed panel is made entirely of 7/16 in thick oriented strand board (OSB), fastened with glue, and insulated with 8 in of high density fiberglass. Semi-circular holes are spaced evenly along the tops of the ribs, allowing cross-ventilation for roofs with hips and valleys. Because panels are insulated well and adequately ventilated, thermal performance is improved, and structural performance is comparable to similar-sized rafter and sheathing schemes. The hollow ridge beam supports panels during construction, but also provides both vertical and lateral load- carrying for the finished building.
