  2. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

    By using the solar radiation pressure on the mirrors as solar sails and tilting them in the right direction, the flyer will be capable of altering its speed and direction to keep in position. [ 14 ] Such a group of sunshades would need to occupy an area of about 3.8 million square kilometers if placed at the L1 point [ 14 ] (see other lower ...

  3. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.

  4. History of passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_passive_solar...

    Dozens of pattern books were published in this period, including the Passive Solar Energy Book by Edward Mazria. [11] In 1977, the U.S. Department of Energy was created, and in 1978 Solar Energy Tax credits were provided. In 1979, President Carter installed solar panels on the roof of the White House.

    Brise-soleil can comprise a variety of permanent sun-shading structures, ranging from the simple patterned concrete walls popularized by Le Corbusier in the Palace of Assembly [3] to the elaborate wing-like mechanism devised by Santiago Calatrava for the Milwaukee Art Museum [4] or the mechanical, pattern-creating devices of the Institut du Monde Arabe by Jean Nouvel.

  6. Solar gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gain

    Solar gain (also known as solar heat gain or passive solar gain) is the increase in thermal energy of a space, object or structure as it absorbs incident solar radiation. The amount of solar gain a space experiences is a function of the total incident solar irradiance and of the ability of any intervening material to transmit or resist the ...

  7. Shading coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coefficient

    Shading coefficient (SC) is a measure of thermal performance of a glass unit (panel or window) in a building. It is the ratio of solar gain (due to direct sunlight) passing through a glass unit to the solar energy which passes through 3mm Clear Float Glass. [1]
