It is important to insulate the glazing or frames of windows efficiently because they usually contribute to some of the greatest heat loss from dwelling houses. To improve window insulation, we propose a new dynamic system applied to window frames. This system is composed of three parts: a dynamic insulation system applied to window frames, a mechanical ventilation system, and a heat-recovery heat pump system. In order to confirm its feasibility, we evaluated various insulation patterns, materials and structures, by computational fluid dynamics.
