Thermal Efficiency & Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
When sunlight hits a window some of the solar energy is transmitted through (Solar Transmittance T%), some is reflected back (Solar Reflectance R%) and some is absorbed by the glass and sun screen (Solar Absorption A%). Some of the absorbed heat will flow into the building. SHGC represents the amount of solar energy that penetrates the glass and fabric. Values closer to 0 indicate more effective blockage of solar heat entering the building.
Visual Transmittance (T%)
The percentage of total visible solar energy passing through a sun control fabric. The higher the number, the more visible light will penetrate into the interior, the greater the glare.
Visibility
Darker colours have a lower T% value, and a higher A% value, providing better outward visibility.
