USA WINDOWS FACTORIES

Conduction - Heat transfer through a material. Heat flows from a higher temperature area to a lower temperature area.

Emissivity - The relative ability of a surface to reflect or emit heat by radiation. Emissivity factors range from 0.00 to 1.00 and are typically measured in a U-Factor ( or its inverse R-Factor). The lower the emissivity, the less heat that is emitted through a windows system.

Relative Heat Gain - a calculated relationship of heat gain ( through a windows system) that accounts for center - of - glass U-Value and center of glass shading coefficient based on a standard inside and outside temperature.

R-Value ( Also R- Factor) - A measure of a product's abilyt to resist the transfer of thermal energy. A windows with a high R Value has greater resistance to heat flow and a higher insulating value than one with a low R Value.

Passive Solar Heat Gain - Solar heat that passes through a material and is captured naturally, not by mechanical means.

Shading Coefficient - A glass measurement comparing solar heat transmission, related to 1/8 - inch clear glass.

U-Factor - A measure of the rate of nonsolar heat flow through a material or assembly. The lower the U- Factor, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value.

Visible Light Transmittance - The percentage or fraction of the visible light spectrum that is transmitted through the glass of a window or skylight as reduced by the sash material and reluctance of the glass
