2. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   The effectiveness of direct solar gain systems is significantly enhanced by insulative (e.g. double glazing), spectrally selective glazing , or movable window insulation (window quilts, bifold interior insulation shutters, shades, etc.). [22] Generally, Equator-facing windows should not employ glazing coatings that inhibit solar gain.

3. Window covering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_covering

   Window coverings comprise materials used to cover a window to manage sunlight, privacy, additional weatherproofing or for purely decorative purposes. Window coverings are typically used on the interior side of windows, but exterior solutions are also available. Window coverings may be used to manage overheating and glare issues due to sunlight.

   Some smart windows can self-adapt to heat or cool for energy conservation in buildings. [5] [6] [7] Smart windows can eliminate the need for blinds, shades or window treatments. [8] Some effects can be obtained by laminating smart film or switchable film onto flat surfaces using glass, acrylic or polycarbonate laminates. [9]

   Scientists have achieved a new world record for a next-generation solar cell, which holds the promise for novel applications like building-integrated and window solar panels.. The breakthrough ...

6. Shading coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coefficient

   It is the ratio of solar gain (due to direct sunlight) passing through a glass unit to the solar energy which passes through 3mm Clear Float Glass. [1] It is an indicator of how well the glass is thermally insulating ( shading ) the interior when there is direct sunlight on the panel or window.

7. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

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

   Instead of a west-facing window, designers use an R-13 foam-filled solid energy-efficient exterior door. It may have a glass storm door on the outside so that light can pass through when the inner door is opened. East/west glass doors and windows should be fully shaded top-to-bottom or a spectrally selective coating can be used to reduce solar ...
