2 EXPLANATION OF NFRC 2010 STANDARD TERMS Visible Light = radiant energy in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm with Ill. D65 and CIE 2 observer. % Transmittance = percentage of visible light at normal incidence (90 to surface) directly transmitted through the glass. % Reflectance Indoors = percentage of visible light at normal incidence directly reflected from the glass back indoors. % Reflectance Outdoors = percentage of visible light at normal incidence directly reflected from the glass back outdoors. Shading Coefficient (SC) = fraction of solar heat, direct (300 to 2500 nm) plus indirect (5 to 40 μm), transferred indoors through the glass. For reference, 1/8 (3.1 mm) clear glass has a value of 1.00 (SC is an older term being replaced by the SHGC). Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) = fraction of solar energy incident on the glazing that is transferred indoors both directly and indirectly through the glazing. The direct gain portion equals the direct solar transmittance, while the indirect is the fraction of the solar energy absorbed to the energy reradiated & convected indoors. No heat gain from warmer outdoor air is included. SHGC = (Direct Solar Trans) + {[(Indirect Solar Heat Gain) - (Summer U- Value)(89.6 F F)] / ( Btu/hr.ft²)}. U-Value (also called U-Factor) = air-to-air thermal conductance of 39 high glazing and associated air films. Units are Btu/hr.ft².F. Winter-night = 12.3 mph wind at -0.4 F & 69.8 F indoors. Summer = 0 sun, 6.15 mph wind at 89.6 F & 75.2 F still indoor air. Light-to-Solar Gain (LSG) = the ratio of the Visible Light Transmittance to the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. The LSG is used to determine if the glazing is spectrally selective. Tvis/SHGC=LSG. on Clear & UltraWhite Page 1
