Body-tinted =
- Adding metal oxides during float-process
- Works on absorption and re-radiation
- Depth of color depending on glass-thickness
SOLAR CONTROL
- Depth of color depending on glass-thickness
- Limited range (green, bronze, grey, pink, blue)
SGG PARSOL

Characteristics
Bronze: transmits less visible
and more IR than Green
Green or blue tints are better
for daylighting (LT ; IRT )

Body tinted glass or heat-absorbing glass:
reduces the amount of solar energy
transmitted through the glass
reduces the light transmittance
but
the glass temperature rises the glass temperature rises

MRT (mean radiant temperature) of the glass surface

increases

Comfort of the occupants decreases

RADIATION = Transfer of heat by radiation between two
bodies at different temperatures
This transfer is proportional to the emissivity of these bodies
i.e. the emissivity is related to the ability of a surface to i.e. the emissivity is related to the ability of a surface to
irradiate the heat.
Emissivity is related to the surface characteristic of a body.
