WINDOW SOLAR SCREEN 122402

DIVISION 12 – FUNISHINGS

1224002 – Window Solar Screens

1.1 Summary

Solar screens are either roller shade or fixed panels, which can be installed on either the exterior or interior of a window. Solar screens reduce solar heat gain, UV damage, and glare while permitting significant view and light transmission. The solar screen shades will be installed as fixed panels on all southernly facing windows of the building that consist of twenty-four (24) upper window and seven

(7) lower openings (set of window that require a single screen that measure approximately 72.5” wide by 69” high).

1.2 Definitions

Solar Screen Shade is a designed frame that houses a densely woven solar screen fabric to provide protection from the harsh sun. They are installed over the windows using either casement clips, leaf springs or 3M Dual Lock Heavy Duty Velcro. The solar screen shade is supported by protective a lightweight, rigid housing with which it is attached.

1.2 Objective

The intent of this project is to reduce the heat transferred through the window and to diffuse the light of the sun that comes through the south windows in this administrative building.

All work shall be completed in accordance with the manufacture’s specifications and current building codes. The work includes all labor, material, supervision, and equipment necessary to perform all the operations for the work specified herein.

The Contractor shall be responsible for any necessary site investigations for detailed and accurate material lists, and all field measurements necessary to complete the construction.

1.3 Performance Requirements

The solar screen shade is to be designed and fabricated to withstand loads from gravity, wind, pounding, drift, and structural movement, including thermally induced movement; and to resist, without failure, other conditions of in-service use, including exposure to weather.

The primary thermal performance of solar screens is reducing solar heat gain, as reflected in shading coefficient (SC) numbers. The screen industry has historically used shading coefficient rather than solar heat gain coefficient—SHGC; the mathematical relationship between the two is: 0.87 X SC =

SHGC).

Shading coefficient numbers for solar screens range from 0.50 – 0.70 for interior installations; 0.14 –

0.33 for exterior installations (based on openness factor and color as discussed above). The impact of solar screens on cooling costs and thermal comfort can range from substantial to modest, depending on the climate, performance properties of the screen, geographic location, and the cardinal orientation of the solar screen.
