    • Simplified Solar Optical Calculations For Windows With Venetian Blinds 

      Wright, John L.; Kotey, Nathan Amon (2006)
      Solar gain through a window represents the most variable heat gain imposed on an indoor space. It is also likely to represent the largest heat gain of the indoor space. Shading devices like venetian blinds roller blinds ...
