Exterior Block solar window gain before shading it reaches the window strategies
When exterior shading is not permitted, desired, or possible Use High-Performance Glazing Systems P To minimize solar heat gain, use hot-climate low-e coated glazings with high LSG ratio P Choose VT to fit the situation < VT high for north-facing, and exposures already shaded fairly well < VT low for east- and west-facing exposures inadequately shaded P To reduce peak load, enhancing comfort and allowing smaller air conditioners, use double pane windows < Impact resistant for coastal zone < Insulated frames to reduce condensation and improve comfort further
