Measurement of Solar Transmittance through Plate Glass

In this example, several types of glass were measured using a UV-3600 UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and their solar transmittance was calculated using solar transmittance

Key Glass Performance Measures

Visible light transmittance (VLT) is a percentage of the visible portion of the solar energy spectrum coming through the glass. It is expressed as a figure between 0 (no light) and

Performance value terms

Solar Energy Direct Transmittance (Te, %) is the percentage of incident solar energy in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 2500 nm that is directly

Solar control

Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass.

WINDOWS 101: EPISODE FIVE FACT SHEET Optical

At Berkeley Lab we maintain the International Glazing Database of glass properties storing transmittance and reflectance as a function of wavelength for more than

Solar Factor: What It Is and How to Calculate It

The light transmittance (TL) expresses the amount of light transmitted through the glass. It is the percentage of light, visible to our eyes, that the glass of a fixture allows to filter
