The problem of energy saving is one of the most pressing problems of our time. In the Russian Federation, especially in the northern part of the country, the task of energy saving is one of the first places. As you know, the main reason for the increased energy consumption for heating and ventilation of buildings is the low level of thermal insulation of the building envelope. The most vulnerable element for heat loss in buildings are translucent structures, through which more than half of the heat supplied to the building is lost. Thus, to solve this problem, it is necessary to look for ways to increase the resistance to heat transfer of window structures and increase their thermal characteristics. One of the solutions for improving the thermal characteristics of translucent structures is the use of protective and heating films. In this work, we carried out experimental studies of the effect of the heating element on the thermal characteristics of window constructions compared to a window without a heating element.
