| Abstract | Solar heat gain can be substantially reduced by orienting a building so that there is a minimum of glass in the east and west facades. Solar heat gain through south facing windows can be controlled during the summer by outside shades or by tilting; if they are double glazed such windows do not increase the energy requirements for heating in the southern part of Canada. Heat gain in the east or west facades can be reduced by using double glazing. Finally blinds can be used to reduce solar heating. |
