Solar heat gain calculator
Peak BTU/hr through glass with exterior shading factor — use before specifying screens or horizontal blinds.
Estimated peak heat gain
6300 BTU/hr
≈ 1846.4 kW thermal — sizing reference for HVAC and fabric openness.
Assumptions & next step
- - Single-hour peak estimate using SHGC and incident irradiance.
- - Shade factor aggregates openness, placement, and user operation behavior.
- - Does not replace full energy model, orientation study, or HVAC design.
