Determining Longwave Radiative Properties Of Flat Shading Materials

Kotey, Nathan Amon; Wright, John L.; Collins, Michael R. (2008-08)

Solar gain through fenestration has a significant impact on building peak load and annual energy consumption. Shading devices, attached to fenestration, offer a cost effective strategy in controlling solar gain. The ...
Determining Off-Normal Solar Optical Properties of Drapery Fabrics

Kotey, Nathan Amon; Collins, Michael R.; Wright, John L. (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2009)

The determination of off-normal solar optical properties of drapery fabrics is particularly useful in modelling the effective solar optical properties of pleated drapery. Special sample holders were designed and fabricated ...
An Examination of Keyes Universal Chart: 50 Years Later

Wright, John L.; Huang, Ned Y. T.; Collins, Michael R. (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2016-01)

From the late 1940's to the late 1960's, significant efforts were made by ASHVE and then ASHRAE to evaluate and quantify the impact of window shading. In the context of the now defunct Shading Coefficient, well known ...
