Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of Complex Fenestrations with a Venetian Blind for Differing Slat Tilt Angles

J. H. Klems, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, measured bidirectional transmittances and reflectances of a buff-colored venetian blind together with a layer calculation scheme developed in previous publications are utilized to produce directional-hemispherical properties for the blind layer and solar heat gain coefficients for blind in combination with clear double glazing.

Calorific measurement of the inward-flowing fraction of absorbed solar radiation in venetian blinds

M.R. Collins, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the calorimetric measurement of the inward-flowing fraction of absorbed solar radiation for a venetian blind at various blind slat angles.

Effect of Textile Properties in Evaluating a Directional Shading Fabric

Maureen M. Grasso, +2 more
- 01 Apr 1997 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of textile properties on the distribution and redirection of sunlight was investigated through measurements of biconical transmittance distributions of a Z-pleat cross-sectional shading fabric with variable pitch specular reflecting tape.

A model of heat gain calculation for buildings with shuttle louvers: Verification and a case study

Qiuhua Tao, +3 more
- 01 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: A new model was developed to improve the prediction of heat gain in a room with shuttle louvers and can be used to analyze the heat transfer through building envelopes in details and provide more accurate results for the building with Shuttle louvers.

Variable angle photometric characterization of a laminated glass embedding a lamellae system

G Fusco, +3 more
- 01 Sep 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the transmittance and reflectance of the sample computed from the geometrical parameters of the lamellae system are compared to the corresponding values measured with global and bidirectional variable angle measurement systems.
