Solar heat gain

Please find below a selection of relevant articles from AEC companies and organizations for solar heat gain.

Fiore Skylights in NJ - Metal-Framed Skylights, Commercial Skylights, Residential Skylights, ...
...The range of values lets the glazing specifier select the density that most effectively satisfies the interrelated requirements for adequate daylights illumination and control of solar heat gain. As the color saturation, or tint, of each transparent acrylic sheet increases, the control of the solar heat and glare becomes more effective. (See Table 2) * TABLE 2 * Acrylic. See #1.



Monarch Manufacturing: Quality Basement Windows, Bucks, and Wells
...General Information Technical Information Thermal Performance Values of Monarch Windows Astoria Pro Single Slider Inserts: These windows are NFRC rated and labeled. "U" Solar Heat Gain "R" Clear IG 0.49 0.63 2.04 LowL 0.32 0.32 3.13 Builder Series Windows: These windows are NFRC rated, but we are only currently labeling the LowE glazed option. See #2.

25 Reasons to Choose Durasol - Durasol Awnings
...can result in dissatisfaction and costly repairs or alterations. 21) Reduce Your Energy Costs Durasol Awnings help block the sun’s rays giving you up to a 77% reduction in solar heat gain. You can also save up to 25% on cooling costs because an awning can reduce indoor temperatures by as much as 15 degrees. 22) Durasol’s Local Independent... See #3.

Ice Dams
...Since most ice dams form at the edge of the roof, there is obviously a heat source warming the roof elsewhere. This heat is primarily coming from the house. In rare instances solar heat gain may cause these temperature differences. Heat from the house travels to the roof surface in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction... See #4.

Window Treatments - Window Treatment Sewing Pattern
...Curtains Warm Window Worksheet Warm Window insulated shades are an energy efficient window treatment dramatically increase the R-Value of windows reducing heat loss and solar heat gain. Window Treatment Videos Show Patterns & Designs For Window Treatments. Window treatment videos show patterns & designs for window treatments.... See #5.

Solar Shield UK
...is a permanent and proven solution to many glass related problems within a building, from safety, security, insulation, privacy and decorative appeal to protection from graffiti, solar heat gain, glare and damaging UV rays and bomb blast. Our comprehensive range of performance window films, when professionally installed, are a cost effective... See #6.

Security, Bomb Blast and Safety Window Film, West Midlands UK - Privacy, UV Protection, Solar
...window film are designed to protect people and property against the dangers of flying shards of glass in the event of explosion or attack. More Info... Solar Control Window Film Solar heat gain is a major contributor to uncomfortable working conditions and solar glare can make life difficult particularly when using computer screens. More Info. See #7.

Architen Landrell - Sun Tracking Umbrella, Jardine Insurance
...into the parasol structure to ensure it could track the sun throughout the day, as it rotates around a circular light well. While the installation does control glare and solar heat gain, it also incorporates a kinetic sculpture into and otherwise bare looking building atrium, adding a touch of artistic license to an otherwise functional piece. See #8.

United Window & Door Test Results
57 0.31 0.32 0.57 *3131 Patio Door has an overall IG unit of 1" U Value - is the inverse of R Value. The lower the U Value, the better the insulating ability. (R=1/U) SHGC - Solar Heat Gain Coefficient is the solar heat radiation through a window expressed a s a number between 0 and 1. The lower the SHGC the less heat is transmitted. VLT... See #9.

Glazing System
...for determining fenestration product U-factors • Result -.18 to.33, dependent on glass type and gap fill 2. NFRC 200, Procedure for determining fenestration product solar heat gain • Result -.26 to.60, dependent on glass type 3. ASTM E 283-04, Standard test method for determining the rate of air leakage through exterior windows, ... See #10.

Cover-Pools Energy Efficiency
It even acts as a passive solar heater by capturing the sun's radiant heat and it extends your swimming season. When a pool is covered, there can be a solar heat gain up to 10 to 15 degrees, making it less expensive to heat the pool. A pool cover eliminates heat evaporation, keeping the pool warm when the air temperature cools off at night. See #11.

Superseal Window And Door Company - Vinyl Windows

See #13.

Benefits
Exterior Less prone to cracking from settling & shrinkage Easy to achieve smoothness Let walls evaporate moisture freely Increased defense against water Limit solar heat gain, reducing AC consumption Lower embodied energy than cement & acrylic Interior Provide clean indoor air quality Naturally fungus & mold resistant...

eurocell - PVCu conservatories
1 U Value is a measure of thermal efficiency - the lower the figure the more thermally efficient. 2 Heat Gain Index. The index represents the ratio of total solar heat gain as expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The closer the number is to 0 the better it is at blocking solar heat gain. Eurocell’s Pinnacle conservatory... See #15.
