- Abstract
- The BLAST-2 computer program is used to investigate multiple glazing as a means to reduce the energy consumption of two buildings of the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The Thomas Jefferson building is of very heavy masonry construction, and the John Adams building is of heavy masonry. The techniques of modeling the building load and air system performance are explained. The results are presented and discussed.
