Abstract

The spectral transmission by window glass and various heat-absorbing glasses of direct and scattered solar radiation was measured by spectrophotometry over the 0.2-0.25 micrometer wavelength range. The spectral transmission curves were derived. Seasonal differences in the transmission were determined by using data for January and July. The purpose of the study was to determine the thermal insulation properties of the various glasses for protecting buildings from solar heat. Recommendations of specific glasses for different climates of the country were made.
