Examination of the properties of Solar Glazing Materials

태양열투과체의 특성에 관한 고찰

In general, glass has proven to be an effective glazing material, exhibiting extended service lifetime and high solar transmittance while remaining opaque to long wave thermal reradiation. Plastics, which possess higher solar transmittance than commercial glass, are lightweight and also cost competitive with glass. In this paper a survey of various glazing materials is presented, and the comparative analysis of their properties are perform ed in detail with special emphasis on double glazing materials, which can be adaptable to various passive solar systems.
