Heat gain

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

Fiore Skylights in NJ - Metal-Framed Skylights, Commercial Skylights, Residential Skylights, ...
...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.



Acrylic
...diffusion of heat or light, allows the most heat transfer. U Values - BTU / HR / Square Foot/ deg F Winter Heat Loss Single Dome Double Dome Heat Loss (15 mph wind) 1.2 0.7 Summer Heat Gain Single Dome Double Dome Heat Gain (7.5 mph wind) 0.8 0.5 Note: During extended periods of temperature and humidity differential, condensation may form between double domes. See #2.

Radiant Barrier Foil Insulation Products - Radiant GUARD®
...residential, commercial, and industrial rates; USA figures from 2000 reflect yearly average. Radiant Barriers Provide YEAR-ROUND Savings Studies have shown that up to 93% of ceiling heat gain in summer months occurs from radiant heat transfers from attics heated by radiant energy from the sun. Roof shingles and decking absorb radiant heat generated... See #3.

Sika Sarnafil - News and Knowledge
...such as Sarnafil’s EnergySmart Roof ®, help educational facilities lower energy demand by reflecting the sun’s energy before it is absorbed.  This reduces the heat gain within buildings, lowering energy demand required for building air conditioning as well as reducing the demand on fossil fuel power plants.  Integrating... See #4.

25 Reasons to Choose Durasol - Durasol Awnings
...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 #5.

Retractable Awnings: Awning FAQs
...unwanted heat that builds up in your house or commercial building comes in through the windows. Although both exterior and interior exterior sun protection systems can control this heat gain, exterior sun protection systems -- items such as retractable awnings are far more effective, since they block sunlight BEFORE it enters the windows and doors. See #6.

Aluma-Lock Roofing - Salt Lake City, Utah
...residential roofs are heated by solar radiation causing high afternoon attic air temperatures. The large influence on cooling is due to increased ceiling heat transfer as well as heat gains to the duct systems which are typically located in the attic space (Figure E-1). The Florida Solar Energy Center instrumented side-by-side Habitat homes in Ft. See #7.

Arrowspace Series 50 Vinyl Window
...vinyl extrusions which are guaranteed not to rust, peel, chip or corrode and will never need painting. The Arrowspace Series 50 window meets or exceeds the highest standards for heat gain or heat loss. The natural insulating properties of vinyl reduce heat and cold transfer and provide energy efficiency. High stool on sill provides additional... See #8.

American Weather Seal
Check with your local builder or American Weather-Seal dealer for details. Insulated glass helps reduce heating and cooling bills and condensation build-up; decreases heat gain in rooms exposed to direct sunlight; protects carpets, draperies and artwork from fading caused by UV exposure; and reduces intrusive outside sounds. Double-insulating... 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.

Environmental Pool Systems, Inc. home of DRY-AIR and VERI-DRY
...Manufactured “glass & frame” Enclosure__________________________ If any portion of the pool room is glass & frame, have SENSIBLE CALCULATIONS BEEN DONE FOR HEAT GAIN & HEAT LOSS? __________________________ 3.

DAY & NITE Solar Lite™, is an industrial GREEN LIGHTING system that uses mother nature's abundant daylight, not sunlight, to turn off your existing lights. Not a skylight, a DAYLITE SOLAR LITE™ uses a lens technology that provides outstanding light distribution without heat gain or loss, on a custom built lightwell for your facility. See #13.

Comfort Project
This is in part due to the number of students but also is exacerbated by the computer equipment heat emission and other factors, such as lighting and external heat gains, solar gain and heat conduction through the fabric of the building. It is interesting to note that the average colour monitor gives off 150w and the average... See #14.
