Evaluation of solar heat gain coefficient for solar-control glazings and shading devices.

Author(s) : HARRISON S. J., WONDEREN S. J. van

Summary

The determination of solar heat gain coefficient values for complex fenestration systems is required to evaluate building energy performance, to estimate peak electrical loads, and to ensure occupant comfort. As glazing systems that incorporate complex geometries become more common, test methods are required to evaluate these products and to aid in the development of new computational tools. The study described in the paper further applies a new method to a variety of commercially available glazing and shading systems. Testing was conducted in a solar simulator facility using a specially designed window calorimeter.
