  2. Glass in green buildings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_in_green_buildings

    Solar control glass can be an eye-catching characteristic of a building whilst at the same time diminishing, or even eradicating the need for an air-conditioning system, reducing running costs of the building and saving energy. Solar control glass can be particular for any situation where unwarranted solar heat gain is likely to be a bother. E.g.

  3. Window insulation film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation_film

    "Low-E" glass was introduced to the North American residential building market in the 1980s by a collaboration between Rob Hammon, now with BIRAenergy, and Wade Martin, a windshield glass manufacturer. [7] Solar control film is an effective way to control excessive sunshine during the summer months.

  4. Thermal fracturing in glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_fracturing_in_glass

    Solar absorption: the temperature of glass depends on the amount of heat absorbed by the glass. So a high performance solar control glass will absorb more heat. so it will be more prone to thermal fracture; Shadow: the presence of shadows will result in relatively cooler areas in glass. Thus it results in temperature difference and may result ...

  5. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    High transmission glass maximizes solar gains to the mass wall. The glass is placed from 3 ⁄ 4 to 6 in. (20 to 150 mm) from the wall to create a small airspace. Glass framing is typically metal (e.g., aluminum) because vinyl will soften and wood will become super dried at the 180 °F (82 °C) temperature that can exist behind the glass in the ...

  6. Flat Glass Group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Glass_Group

    Flat Glass Group (FGG; Chinese: 福莱特玻璃集团; pinyin: Fúláitè Bōlí Jítuán) is a publicly listed Chinese glass production company headquartered in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. It is the world's second largest producers of photovoltaic (PV) glass used in solar power. In 2019, it had a daily capacity of 5,400 tonnes. [2] [3] [4]

  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]

  8. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers or non-water heating devices such as solar cookers or solar air heaters. [1] Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating.

  9. Window film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_film

    Window films are generically categorized by their construction components (dyed, pigmented, metallized, ceramic, or nano), by their intended use (automotive, marine or architectural), by substrate type (glass or polycarbonate), and/or by their technical performance (privacy, solar control, safety and security).
