Min/Existing
EA p2 Minimum Energy Performance
Walls are 35% glazing requiring Solar heat Gain Coefficients of:
North .36 All .25 The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a window blocks heat from sunlight. The SHGC is the fraction of the heat from the sun that enters through a window. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window's SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits.
