On the Minimization of Heat Losses Through the Exterior Wall of a Building with a Window Opening

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

We propose a method for finding the conditions of minimizing heat losses through an enclosure structure with a window opening with account for the continuous action of climatic factors. An example of calculations is given.
