SHGC is not one of the most important parameters when a building with standard WWR is analysed, but in this case is different.
The solar heat gain coefficient (
SHGC) measures the amount of solar radiation that passes through the window.
4) Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (
SHGC): For climates that require a lot of heating, TDDs should have a medium to high
SHGC.
The Solar Heat Gain coefficient (
SHGC) for the glazing used in the selected building is 0.75, which means the amount of solar heat gain passing through the glazing is 75%.
The
SHGC is an index that determines the total quantity of solar radiation that passes through a window, while the SC shows the degree to which solar radiation is blocked.
Solar heat gain--expressed as the solar heat gain coefficient (
SHGC)--measures how much of the sun's energy that strikes the window and frame actually moves into the building as heat.
Sweet Homes General Contracting (
SHGC) has reassured the Ajman Realty Regulatory Agency (ARRA) that 200 phase one villa units on the $600m 'Ajman Uptown' project are on track for completion in September 2012.

Thermal Mass (thickness, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, density, internal thermal mass, and windows
SHGC)
Sometimes U and R are more effective than
SHGC, and a small amount of insulation in the right place will do even more.
A second important window measurement is the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (
SHGC), which is the amount of solar gain a window allows.
