The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the components of existing PVC windows in the country in providing thermal insulation, to identify the optimal conditions of the components and the insulation performance of windows with the components in the optimal conditions, and to conduct a performance test on samples under the practical specifications for production. We briefly summarize the results below. 1) For the frame, using a method of quality engineering, we examined the reduction in conductive heat flow across each cross-section for multiple regulatory elements, which would contribute to thermal insulation. We then derived the optimal condition (level) for each regulatory element and showed the reduction rate under the optimal condition (sash frame part 19%-21%, fix frame part 6%-10%, mullion frame part 22%). Furthermore, based on the SN ratio, we found that the reduction rate is highest with the following components: inner-frame insulator in the sash frame part and fix frame part, and physical properties of mullion reinforcement in the mullion frame part. 2) As for the glazing part, we examined the specifications of the Low-E film suspended air space of a insulated glass and observed the effect of a Low-E film, optimized the arrangement, and the optimal thickness of the air space for each gas fill. We also examined the thermal transmittance at the center of glass with xenon gas having 3 films (0.29 [W/(m2·K)]), and those at the center of glass with krypton gas having 2 films (0.39 [W/(m2·K)]). 3) We determined the thermal transmittance of the window (0.56 [W/(m2·K)]) with the combined optimal conditions for the frame and glazing parts. In actual manufacturing, however, there are two problems: a technical problem (of forming a metal film inside the frame cross-section and arranging phenolic foam insulator without leaving any space) and a high manufacturing cost (associated with filling xenon gas inside the insulated glass). We therefore examined the insulation performance of samples having practical specifications for production. As a result, we obtained a measured thermal transmittance of 0.63 [W/(m2·K)] in contrast to the calculated value of 0.65 [W/(m2·K)].
