  2. Windshield sun shade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windshield_sun_shade

    Windshield Sun Shades. Typically, the glass of the car's windshield itself blocks most of the UV light from the sun, and some of the infrared radiation.But it can't protect from the visible light that mostly penetrates through the window and gets absorbed by the objects inside the car.

  3. Shading coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coefficient

    It is an indicator of how well the glass is thermally insulating the interior when there is direct sunlight on the panel or window. The shading coefficient depends on the color of glass and degree of reflectivity. It also depends on the type of reflective metal oxides for the case of reflective glass.

  4. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    Reflective window coatings and multiple panes of glass can reduce useful solar gain. However, direct-gain systems are more dependent on double or triple glazing or even quadruple glazing in higher geographic latitudes to reduce heat loss. Indirect-gain and isolated-gain configurations may still be able to function effectively with only single ...

  5. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylighting_(architecture)

    To help distribute sun room daylight to the sides of rooms that are farthest from the equator, inexpensive ceiling-to-floor mirrors can be used. Building codes require a second means of egress, in case of fire. Most designers use a door on one side of bedrooms, and an outside window, but west-side windows provide very-poor summer thermal ...

  6. Solar gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gain

    The shading coefficient (SC) is a measure of the radiative thermal performance of a glass unit (panel or window) in a building.It is defined as the ratio of solar radiation at a given wavelength and angle of incidence passing through a glass unit to the radiation that would pass through a reference window of frameless 3 millimetres (0.12 in) Clear Float Glass.

  7. Brise soleil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brise_soleil

    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.
