SOLAR GAIN
The amount of heat increase resulting from solar energy entering a room. It is the total of three separate parts - the amount of energy transmitted directly into the room, the energy which is absorbed by the blind and a proportion of the energy which is absorbed by the window.
SHADING CO-EFFICIENT
The solar heat gain with the blind at the window divided by the solar heat gain with no blind at the window. The lower the shading co-efficient, therefore, the higher the efficiency of the fabric.
