Solar Control Glass

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solar control glass has applications for windows and glazed facades in order to modify indoor visual and thermal comfort in buildings. The article presents the results of evaluation study of optical properties of selected types of solar control glasses and foils. The spectral transmittance measurements were used as input data for daylight comparative studies, and the consideration of convenience of selected solar control glasses and foils for windows are summarised on the basis of analysis of optical properties.
