Solar Heat Gain & ShadingGlassmaking & Glazing

Convert Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) to Shading Coefficient (SC) and estimate solar radiation heat transmission.

Structural Parameters
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)0.6

Represents the fraction of solar radiation admitted through a window. Range is 0.0 (fully blocked) to 1.0 (fully admitted).

Incident Solar Radiation (W/m²)600 W/m²
100 W/m² (Heavy Overcast)500 W/m² (Diffused Skylight)1000 W/m² (Bright Direct Peak)

Calculations based on international structural glass design standards (ASTM E1300 & EN 12600). Glazing safety must be certified by professional engineers for high-rise commercial installations.

Computed Glass Engineering Metrics
Solar Heat Gain (SHGC)0.6
Shading Coefficient (SC)0.690
Transmitted Heat Transmission360 W/m²
Blocked Solar Energy Power240 W/m²
Solar Optimization Guidelines
High Solar Admission (Passive Solar Heating)

Ideal for cold climates where passive winter solar heating is desired. Requires external shading in summer to prevent greenhouse overheating.
