| Popis: | In Southeast Asia, reduction of energy usage is a necessity because of an increasing trend in building energy consumption. The building envelope performance strongly affects the building’s energy performance necessitating it consideration in energy usage studies. Many studies have been conducted that have encouraged the growing use of green materials in Southeast Asia. However, the studies that have focused on the building envelope are few. It is, therefore, unclear whether the adopted products would perform at the level for which is decided at designed. This study analyses how to rate material performance and the glass and frame production process along with the performance guarantee system used on building envelopes in Thailand located in Southeast Asia. Data were collected in a literature review and field survey. The field survey is an interview survey which was conducted with academicians who focus on the glass industry, architects and façade contractors, and a factory survey which was conducted in a glass factory and aluminium factory in Thailand. As a result, this study presented the material performance decision factor, the production process, and the product testing phase including checking of production performance and the practically referred standards. |
