  2. Window insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation

    Energy-efficient houses in cold climates often feature triple-glazed windows with a U-value between 0.19 and 0.26. In moderate and hot climates, quality double-glazed windows with a U-value of about 0.30 are generally a more cost-competitive and effective choice. [6]

  3. Solar gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gain

    Solar gain through windows includes energy transmitted directly through the glass and energy absorbed by the glass and frame and then re-radiated into the space. Solar gain is illustrated by the snow on the roof of this house: sunlight has melted all of the snow, except for the area that is shaded by the chimney to the right.

  4. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    The energy from the Sun could play a key role in de-carbonizing the global economy alongside improvements in energy efficiency and imposing costs on greenhouse gas emitters. "The strength of solar is the incredible variety and flexibility of applications, from small scale to big scale".

  6. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

    The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

  7. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    In a sun-tempered building, the south-facing window area should be limited to about 5 to 7% of the total floor area, less in a sunny climate, to prevent overheating. Additional south-facing glazing can be included only if more thermal mass is added. Energy savings are modest with this system, and sun tempering is very low cost. [20]
