• Optical glass rasters designed and developed for energy-efficient external glass walls are presented. The walls will be constructed from raster glass. The optical raster separates direct and diffuse radiation—that is, diffuse radiation goes through the glass raster unchanged whereas the direct radiation is transformed according to laws of geometrical optics. The walls will reduce the amount of energy required for the heating and cooling of building interiors, because they will reflect heat from walls or absorb it as desirable. Special software was created for calculation of energy balance of linear rasters. A module program was created in the language Microsoft Visual Basic (for application in MS Excel 5.0 or higher) for evaluation of energy balance in any layer in front of and behind the raster. The program has proved to be an effective tool for evaluation of optical characteristics generally described transparent facades.
