8. Energy control

Under current regulations, glazing with a high solar factor g and a low U g coefficient will be preferred (RT 2005 and RT 2012 thermal regulations).

In winter, and especially in summer when the sun is shining brightly, this sometimes results in a significant rise in indoor temperature, leading to unbearable conditions.

Remember that :

  • a low solar factor g is advantageous in summer (reduced effect of the sun);

  • a low U g coefficient will be of interest in winter (less heat loss).

It will therefore be necessary to choose between these g-values and U g ...
