...windows, which only cut out about 10 percent of the incident solar radiation. The fraction of incident solar radiation that passes through a window is called the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). With an SHGC of 0.9, these windows maximize heat gain into that space. During the night, I close the door between the sunspace and living... See #9.
