Curtain wall glass facade calculations
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): SHGC quantifies the amount of solar radiation that enters a building through the glass facade. It helps architects and engineers optimize the
A curtain wall is a non-structural outer covering of a building that can be made of glass. Using solar control glass in a curtain wall can help designers control the performance and appearance of the glazing, including solar protection and thermal insulation.
No, the BIPV photovoltaic glass structurally does not differ from other types of conventional glazing. Therefore, it is integrated into the building envelope (curtain wall, façade, or skylight) like any construction material. What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall?
Solar control glass is ideal for helping to maximize natural daylight while reflecting a high proportion of solar radiation away from the glass, contributing to keeping the indoor space bright but cool. What are the benefits of solar control glass?
Solar control glass can help mitigate glare from the sun and increase the visual comfort of building occupants, particularly if a glazed façade is directly exposed to the sun and with a high window-to-wall ratio.
