Finally, figure 11 shows <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> variation <strong>of</strong> tr<strong>an</strong>smissivity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glass from 0.23 to<br />

0.80, keeping <strong>the</strong> reflectivity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glass at 0.11 <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> shade tr<strong>an</strong>missivity at 0.53. The<br />

relationship is linear.<br />

CONCLUSIONS<br />

<strong>Modeling</strong> results lead to <strong>the</strong> following conclusions:<br />

For <strong>the</strong> baseline glass/shade system studied here, <strong>the</strong> temperature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glass <strong>an</strong>d shade vary<br />

with shade tr<strong>an</strong>smisivity, <strong>the</strong> glass varying from 51.4 to 55.5 C (124.6 to 131.8 F) <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> shade<br />

ch<strong>an</strong>ging from 34.4 to 37.6 C (95.8-99 F).<br />

Again for <strong>the</strong> baseline glass/shade system, <strong>the</strong> heat gain through <strong>the</strong> south façade varies almost<br />

linearly with shade tr<strong>an</strong>smisivity, r<strong>an</strong>ging from about 416 W/m 2 (132 Btu/hr-ft 2 ) to about<br />

521 W/m 2 (165 Btu/hr-ft 2 ) as <strong>the</strong> tr<strong>an</strong>smissivity varies from 0.1 to 0.85.
