The main characteristic that defines energy performance is the energy transmittance co-efficient (Usb). According to the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the co-efficient in Greece should range from 3,2 to 2,6, depending on the climate zone in question (in Greece there are four climate zones). The co-efficient of ROLKAΆs shutters is 1,6, which is even lower than that prescribed by EU regulations.
Measurements of energy transmittance co-efficient and of resistance to wind pressure have been conducted at the internationally acclaimed German Institute “Institut fur Fenstertechnic” (ift ROSENHEIM).
