Total Solar Transmittance Shading System

Performance value terms

Solar Factor or Total Solar Energy Transmittance or g-value (g%) is the total solar radiation transmitted by the glass. Shading Coefficient (sc) is Solar

Experimental and numerical determination of the total solar

In response to the increased occurrence of overheating problems in glazed buildings in recent years, EMPA has focussed on the determination and modelling of the total

Measuring Solar Transmittance and Solar Reflectance, Part 2

This software supports the calculation of visible light transmittance, UV transmittance, solar transmittance, and solar reflectance for flat glass according to JIS R3106.

Definitions of Key Terms

% Solar Transmittance (T-sol): The ratio of the amount of total solar energy in the full solar wavelength range (300-2,500 nanometers) that is allowed to pass directly through a glazing

Performance value terms

Solar Factor or Total Solar Energy Transmittance or g-value (g%) is the total solar radiation transmitted by the glass. Shading Coefficient (sc) is Solar Factor divided by 0.87.

GUIDANCE NOTE S 7A

This guidance note investigates g-value and gtot as these provide key energy performance figures for assessing the amount of solar energy transmitted into a building.

SHGC,TSER,SC and G-value

SHGC is the successor to the shading coefficient used in the United States and it is the ratio of transmitted solar radiation to incident solar radiation of an entire window assembly.
