General Information

Abstract

This document specifies a detailed method, based on the spectral transmission data of the materials, comprising the solar protection devices and the glazing, to determine the total solar energy transmittance and other relevant solar-optical data of the combination. If spectral data are not available the methodology can be adapted to use in-tegrated data.
The method is valid for all types of solar protection devices parallel to the glazing such as louvres, or venetian, or roller blinds. The blind may be located internally, externally, or enclosed between the panes of the glazing. Ventilation of the blind is allowed for in each of these positions in determining the solar energy absorbed by the glazing or blind components, for vertical orientation of the glazing.
The blind component materials may be transparent, translucent or opaque, combined with glazing components with known solar transmittance and reflectance and with known emissivity for thermal radiation.
The method is based on a normal incidence of radiation and does not take into account an angular dependence of transmittance or reflectance of the materials. Diffuse irradiation or radiation diffused by solar protection devices is treated as if it were direct. Louvres or venetian blinds are treated as homogenous materials by equivalent solar optical characteristics, which may depend on the angle of the incidence radiation. For situations outside the scope of this document; ISO 15099 covers a wider range of situations.
The document also gives certain normalised situations, additional assumptions and necessary boundary conditions.

The relevant characteristics are: • for solar radiation and light: the spectral transmittance and the spectral reflectances of both sides; • for thermal radiation: the transmittance and the emissivities of both sides. Usually, these values are determined directly by the most appropriate optical method1). For glazing, see the procedures recommended for glazing materials in EN 410. However, for louvres or venetian blinds, Annex A gives a method to calculate equivalent values based on similarly determined material properties. 4.2 Gas spaces The thermal properties of closed spaces filled with air or gas shall be calculated in accordance with EN 673. The spaces are described by their width and the physical properties of the gas (see Annex D, Table D.1). Ventilated air spaces are described by the width and the height of the space and the physical properties of the air. 5 Principles of calculation 5.1 General The combination of glazing and solar protection devices consists of a series of solid layers separated by air or gas filled spaces. The solid layers are assumed to be homogeneous with a negligible thermal resistance. The transport of solar radiation and heat is considered to be one-dimensional, except for ventilated spaces, where the two-dimensional convection is reduced to a one-dimensional formula.

It is assumed that the spaces are completely transparent, without any absorption. Each solid layer is characterised by the spectral transmittance and reflectance in the wavelength region between 0,3 µm and 2,5 µm.
