The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

Some thoughts about codeshellip1 They are getting stronger The IECC

2012 is looming on the horizon Is net-zero energy attainable

2 Pay me now or pay me later 2X3 More expensive Maybe not 4 Getting greener

Lewis Center at Oberlin College in Ohio

Code OverviewA word about the expression ldquoConditioned spacerdquoldquoa cooled space heated space or indirectly conditioned space defined as

followsndash cooled space an enclosed space within a building that is cooled by a cooling

systemndash heated space an enclosed space within a building that is heated by a heating

systemndash Also ldquoconditionedrdquo does not mean air-conditioned it includes heated-only spaces

bull502 Building Envelope ldquoUrdquo Factors and SHGC 50223

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

bull502 Building Envelope ldquoUrdquo Factors and SHGC 50223

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

The U-value (or U-factor) more correctly called the overall heat transfer coefficient describes how well a building element conducts heat It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area under standardized conditions

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 windows SHGC the less solar heat it transmits

Code OverviewhellipCommissioningCommissioning of existing buildings is critical to ensure energy efficient operation

Additional benefits include extended equipment life increased tenant satisfaction through improved space comfort improved indoor air quality and fewer OampM emergency calls

The reported average cost to recommission is usually in the range of $005SF to $040SF The simple payback period on these efforts is usually less than 2 years and quite frequently less than 05 year
