Define what is meant by the shading coefficient of glass.

What will be an ideal response?


The solar heat gain of glass is related to the total energy transmittance with a shading coefficient. The shading coefficient is defined as the ratio of solar heat gain of a glazing unit to the solar heat gain of clear float glass. The lower the shading coefficient, the more efficient the glazing unit is at reducing solar gains.
