Abstract
The basic design guidelines for a window and facade glass which rejects direct solar radiation during the summer period and which transmits direct solar radiation during the remainder of the year are derived. The design employs purely passive control means and is based on the seasonal change of the incident angle of solar rays and on the capability of glass prisms to refract and totally reflect or transmit solar rays dependent on the relevant incident angle. Two new design elements essentially extend the applicability of the glass in accordance with window orientation and season of direct solar light rejection.
