Abstract: Highlights: [•] Co-simulation is used; coupling a 2D heat transfer code developed in MATLAB with EnergyPlus. [•] Windows offset thermal bridges energy load constitutes around 2-8% of the total house load. [•] Applying the coating reduces the windows offset thermal bridge load by about 24% to 50%.
