How do you calculate light to solar heat gain (LSG)?
Light to Solar Heat Gain (LSG) or Light to Solar Gain (LSG): The ratio of Visible Light Transmission (VLT) to Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). Calculated as LSG = VLT / SHGC. When the LSG is greater than 1.0 it means that the glass or film transmits more visible light than heat.
What is light to solar gain (LSG)?
Light to Solar Gain (LSG) is a ratio that results from a window’s SHGC being divided by its VLT rating. The LSG ratio measures the glass's ability to transmit light and block heat in the form of infrared energy. The higher the LSG, the brighter the room is without adding excessive amounts of heat.
How does solar PV output depend on intensity of light?
Abstract— Solar PV output depends on intensity of light. This output varies with the hourly position of the sun as well as density of cloud, moisture, suspended particles in the atmosphere etc. Other than visible light waves, low and high frequency waves above and below the visible range also create energy output through solar PV.
What is solar heat gain & visible light transmission?
Among the functionalities offered by windows, solar heat gain and visible light transmission represent two vital factors in the energy and environmental performance of buildings. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is a measure of how much solar energy passes through a window, expressed by a ratio in the range of 0 to 1.
How can solar energy be harnessed by photocatalysis?
To efficiently harness solar energy via photocatalysis, the knowledge of solar spectrum is crucial. Most of solar irradiation reaching the earth's ground has a wavelength within 300–2500 nm, which covers the UV light (<380 nm), visible light (380–780 nm, also referred to as sunlight), and near infrared (NIR) light (>780 nm).
What is the irradiance of the solar spectrum?
As depicted in Fig. 1.9, the solar spectrum is made up of 3%–5% UV light, 42%–43% visible light, and 52%–55% near-infrared (NIR) light . The irradiance at earth's surface is lower than that at the top of atmosphere due to light scattering and absorption by certain gas molecules (N 2, O 2, H 2 O, CO 2, etc.).
