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 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 relationship is linear. CONCLUSIONS <strong>Modeling</strong> results lead to <strong>the</strong> following conclusions: 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 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 ch<strong>an</strong>ging from 34.4 to 37.6 C (95.8-99 F). Again for <strong>the</strong> baseline glass/shade system, <strong>the</strong> heat gain through <strong>the</strong> south façade varies almost 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 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.
Proceedings <strong>of</strong> Clima 2007 WellBeing Indoors The tr<strong>an</strong>smissivity <strong>of</strong> glass <strong>an</strong>d a shading device do not, by <strong>the</strong>m selves, define <strong>the</strong> solar heat gain into <strong>the</strong> room. The reflect<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glass is equally import<strong>an</strong>t. Long wave radi<strong>an</strong>t exch<strong>an</strong>ge <strong>an</strong>d convection from <strong>the</strong> glass <strong>an</strong>d shade to <strong>the</strong> room are signific<strong>an</strong>t components <strong>of</strong> heat gain. For <strong>the</strong> hot winter condition studied, <strong>the</strong> solar heat gain is predicted to be 480 W/m 2 (152 Btu/hr-ft 2 ). The contribution <strong>of</strong> this heat gain to <strong>the</strong> cooling load should be calculated using <strong>the</strong> load calculation methods described in <strong>the</strong> ASHRAE H<strong>an</strong>dbook <strong>of</strong> Fundamentals, 2001.
