ASHRAE
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (doing business since 2012 as ASHRAE) is a global professional association seeking to advance heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems design and construction.

Color
Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the characteristic of human visual perception described through color categories, with names such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple.

Double-skin facade
The double-skin facade is a system of building consisting of two skins, or facades, placed in such a way that air flows in the intermediate cavity.

Emissivity
The emissivity of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal radiation.

Glass
Glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid that is often transparent and has widespread practical, technological, and decorative usage in, for example, window panes, tableware, and optoelectronics.

Greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

Heating degree day
Heating degree day (HDD) is a measurement designed to quantify the demand for energy needed to heat a building.
New!!: Solar gain and Heating degree day · See more »
Infrared
Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye (although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nm from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions). It is sometimes called infrared light.

Insulated glazing
Insulating glass (IG), more commonly known as double glazing (or double-pane, and increasingly triple glazing/pane), consists of two or three glass window panes separated by a vacuum or gas filled space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope.

Irradiance
In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux (power) received by a surface per unit area.

Köppen climate classification
The Köppen climate classification is one of the most widely used climate classification systems.
New!!: Solar gain and Köppen climate classification · See more »
Louver
A louver (American English) or louvre (British English) is a window blind or shutter with horizontal slats that are angled to admit light and air, but to keep out rain and direct sunshine.

Low emissivity
Low emissivity (low e or low thermal emissivity) refers to a surface condition that emits low levels of radiant thermal (heat) energy.

National Fenestration Rating Council
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a United States 501(c)3 non-profit organization which sponsors an energy efficiency certification and labeling program for windows, doors, and skylights.

Overhang (architecture)
An overhang in architecture is a protruding structure which may provide protection for lower levels.

Porch
A porch (from Old French porche, from Latin porticus "colonnade", from porta "passage") is a term used in architecture to describe a room or gallery located in front of the entrance of a building forming a low front, and placed in front of the facade of the building it commands.

Radiation properties
Conduction and convection are heat transfer processes that require the presence of a medium.
New!!: Solar gain and Radiation properties · See more »
Reflectance
Reflectance of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in reflecting radiant energy.
New!!: Solar gain and Reflectance · See more »
Solar energy
Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.

Space heater
A space heater is a device used to heat a single, small area.
New!!: Solar gain and Space heater · See more »
Thermal mass
In building design, thermal mass is a property of the mass of a building which enables it to store heat, providing "inertia" against temperature fluctuations.
New!!: Solar gain and Thermal mass · See more »
Transmittance
Transmittance of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in transmitting radiant energy.
New!!: Solar gain and Transmittance · See more »
Trombe wall
A Trombe wall is a passive solar building design where a wall is built on the winter sun side of a building with a glass external layer and a high heat capacity internal layer separated by a layer of air.
New!!: Solar gain and Trombe wall · See more »
Wavelength
In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
New!!: Solar gain and Wavelength · See more »
Window
A window is an opening in a wall, door, roof or vehicle that allows the passage of light, sound, and air.
