Low-cost Window heating system energy costs:
Low-cost window heating system for the prevention of condensation water. Energy consumption and energy costs in correlation to T-STRIPE differ between households, depending on the size and number of windows that are going to be equipped with the T-STRIPE heating system.
We are aware of this aspect and therefore tested T-STRIPE in an apartment in Vienna and carefully documented the additional energy costs:
The size and number of windows directly influence energy costs.
Example of T-STRIPE being hidden underneath an aluminum bar.
5 windows have been equipped with T-STRIPE
- Each window had a circumference of at least 3.5m
- Energy consumption per window approximated 35 watt
- T-STRIPE was being controlled via the thermostat and only switched on when necessary
- Testing was conducted from October to April in Vienna
