Performance GUIDE
Selecting glass for a project is an important and sometimes dificult task, to assist in this process G.James ofers the following recommendation for viewing glass samples.
Performance value terms
Solar Energy Absorptance (Ae, %) is the percentage of the sun''s energy that is absorbed by glass. Solar Factor or Total Solar Energy Transmittance or g-value (g%) is the total solar
Measurement of Solar Transmittance through Plate Glass
Transmittance through five types of commercially sold plate glass (5 mm thick) was measured over the wavelength range from 250 nm to 2500 nm. The results show that while

Solar control
Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass.

Understanding Reflected Solar Energy of Glazing Systems in
The level of solar radiation incident on a surface is defined by the combination of its orientation, the solar azimuth and the solar altitude. At high sun angles (>40°), the type of glass used
GLASS FOR FAÇADE
In complementarity to solar control glass in double or triple glazing, Low-E glass significantly reduce heat loss to the exterior, saving the energy need for internal heating.
Solar Panel Glass Specifications Explained
Definition: It represents the proportion of solar energy that passes through the glass. Range: For thin-film glass, the solar factor typically ranges from 10% to 40%.
Solar Factor: What It Is and How to Calculate It
The solar factor g is the ratio between the solar energy that manages to pass through the glass entering the environment and the total solar energy that strikes the outer
Glazing specification and proportions | Essex
It is a factor on a scale from 1 to 0. Where 0 represents no solar gain and 1 represents maximum solar gain. For residential schemes a g-value of 0.5

Solar Glass – Sants Group
For standard solar glass, it''s often around 91% for a 3.2mm thickness. Anti-reflective coatings can increase this value, sometimes exceeding 93.6% for 3.2mm glass. Standard solar glass is
