Calculate solar heat gain coefficient

    • Is SHGC better higher or lower?

      The lower the SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits and the greater its shading ability. A product with a high SHGC rating is more effective at collecting solar heat during the winter. A product with a low SHGC rating is more effective at reducing cooling loads during the summer by blocking heat gain from the sun.


    • What is SHGC rating?

      What Is the SHGC? The SHGC is an energy performance rating that refers to the ratio of solar radiation passing through the whole window assembly composed of the glazing, window frame and spacers separating the glass panes. It ranges between 0 and 1, with the latter indicating the maximum amount of solar heat allowed.


    • Does the size of a solar oven effect the heat?

      They get excited and start jumping around. This activity generates heat. Solar cookers use a couple of different methods to harness this heat. The box cooker is a simple type of solar cooker. At maybe 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) across, it's essentially a sun-powered oven -- an enclosed box that heats up and seals in that heat.


    • Is a high coefficient of thermal expansion good?

      Is a higher or lower coefficient of thermal expansion better? The higher a coefficient of thermal expansion a material has, the more it will expand in reaction to being heated. Crystals tend to have the lowest thermal expansion coefficients because their structure is extremely uniform and structurally sound.

      We propose two new indicators, the adjusted Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (aSHGC) which accounts for external shading while calculating the SHGC of a window, and a weighted SHGC (SHGCw) which provides a seasonal SHGC weighted by solar intensity.

      This paper explores current workflows and methodologies used by building enclosure professionals to calculate and report the effective U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and Visible Transmittance (VT) of fenestration assemblies, henceforth referred to as fenestration performance metrics, in various stages of design.

      The method of calculating solar heat radiation through windows with shading devices developed by Dang and Bogoslopski was worked out and serves as a database for calculation coeficients K1 and K2 in Equation of solar cooling load in the standard (L’vovskiy and Barkalov 1993).
