Abstract
Windows are largely affected by solar radiation,controlling heat radiation from window surfaces is of particular importance. The present study was performed with the recognition that,in order to calculate air-conditioning energy, the radiative component and the convective component of radiant heat must be known separately as they exhibit different heat transfer characteristics. This paper describes solar radiation shading coefficient (SC) of sunlit windows with roller room shades separated into a radiative and a convective component by a heat quantity-based shading coefficient measuring apparatus.
