Article Abstract:

Energy gains and losses through windows are a strong function of a particular window's U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), but orientation plays a critical role. The data for the single-glazed clear window are shown to illustrate the difference between its performance and the performance of windows whose U-factors and SHGCs make them much better candidates for both new and retrofit applications.
