As a unique architectural space, the Sun room is key to improving its comfort and economy by achieving efficient thermal insulation and reducing energy consumption in winter.
First, the choice of glass is crucial. Double-layer or triple-layer insulating glass with good thermal insulation properties should be selected. The air layer or inert gas layer in the middle can effectively block the conduction of heat. For example, the low-emissivity coating on the surface of Low-E glass can reflect indoor heat and reduce heat loss outward. At the same time, it allows the visible light in sunlight to fully enter the room, achieving the dual functions of lighting and heat preservation. Compared with ordinary glass, this kind of glass can significantly reduce the indoor heat loss rate in winter and keep the indoor temperature stable.
Secondly, pay attention to the frame structure of the Sun room. Choose materials with low thermal conductivity, such as broken bridge aluminum or plastic steel. Broken bridge aluminum separates the inner and outer frames of the aluminum alloy through heat insulation strips to prevent rapid heat transfer on the frame; plastic steel itself has excellent thermal insulation properties. The high-quality frame structure can not only reduce heat loss from the edges, but also provide solid support for the glass, ensuring good sealing of the entire Sun room, preventing cold wind from penetrating, and further improving the thermal insulation effect.
Furthermore, optimize the shading and ventilation design of the Sun room. During the day in winter, make full use of the heat brought by sunlight and retract the shading facilities to maximize the warmth of the indoor space. At night, the thermal insulation curtains are drawn to reduce indoor heat dissipation through the glass to the outdoors. In terms of ventilation, ventilation equipment with thermal insulation functions can be installed, such as adjustable ventilation windows or fresh air systems. Ventilate appropriately during the day to expel moisture and introduce fresh air, and close the vents at night to prevent heat loss.
Finally, auxiliary insulation measures are also indispensable. Lay insulation materials, such as polystyrene foam boards, on the floor of the sun room to reduce the downward conduction of heat from the ground. Some carpets or thick blankets can be placed indoors to increase warmth. At the same time, rationally arrange indoor heating equipment, such as electric heaters, floor heating, etc., and use the heat stored in the Sun room during the day to work together with the heating equipment to reduce energy consumption while ensuring a comfortable temperature, so that the Sun room can also become a Warm and comfortable leisure space, reducing energy waste caused by poor insulation.
