对不同的主/风暴窗组合和带有low-e选择性嵌装玻璃的防风雨良好的单悬挂更换窗进行了直接比较测量。使用精确的室外量热计设备进行测量，窗户朝北。双层悬挂的主窗是故意漏水的。然而，由于空气渗透而产生的热流量很小，主要/风暴组合的性能与忽略空气渗透的计算结果大致相同。Prime/low-e风暴窗组合的性能与替换窗非常相似。有趣的是，即使在朝北的方向上，太阳热量的增加也不可忽略。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第109卷，第。堪萨斯城，2003年

Direct comparison measurements were made between various prime/storm window combinations and a well-weatherstripped, single-hung replacement window with a low-e selective glazing. Measurements were made using an accurate outdoor calorimetric facility with the windows facing north. The double-hung prime window was made intentionally leaky. Nevertheless, heat flows due to air infiltration were found to be small, and performance of the prime/storm combinations was approximately what would be expected from calculations that neglect air infiltration. Prime/low-e storm window combinations performed very similarly to the replacement window. Interestingly, solar heat gain was not negligible, even in north-facing orientation.Units: Dual
