Glass in building - Determination of luminous and solar characteristics of glazing

This European Standard specifies methods of determining the luminous and solar characteristics of glazing in buildings. These characteristic can serve as a basis for lighting, heating and cooling calculations of rooms and permit comparison between different types of glazing.
This European Standard applies both to conventional glazing and to absorbing or reflecting solar-control glazing, used as vertical or horizontal glazed apertures. The appropriate formulae for single, double and triple glazing are given.
This European Standard is accordingly applicable to all transparent materials except those which show significant transmission in the wavelength region 5 µm to 50 µm of ambient temperature radiation, such as certain plastic materials.
Materials with light-scattering properties for incident radiation are dealt with as conventional transparent materials subject to certain conditions (see 5.2).
Angular light and solar properties of glass in building are excluded from this Standard. However, research work in this area is summarised in E.1, E.2 and E.3.
While this European Standard presents the formulae for the exact calculations of the spectral characteristics of glazing, it does not consider the uncertainty of the measurements necessary to determine the spectral parameters that are used in the calculations. It should be noted that, for simple glazing systems where few measurements are required, the uncertainty of the results will be satisfactory if correct measurements procedures have been followed. When the glazing systems become complex and a large number of measurements are required to determine the spectral parameters, the uncertainty is cumulative with the number of measurements and should be considered in the final results.
The term interface used in this European Standard, is considered to be a surface characterized by its transmission and reflections of light intensities.

Glas im Bauwesen - Bestimmung der lichtechnischen und trahlungsphysikalischen Kenngrößssen von Verglasungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Verfahren zur Bestimmung der lichttechnischen und strahlungsphysikalischen Kenngrößen von Verglasungen von Gebäuden fest. Diese Kenngrößen können als Grundlage für licht-, heizungs- und klimatechnische Berechnungen dienen. Sie ermöglichen den Vergleich zwischen unter-schiedlichen Verglasungen. Diese Europäische Norm ist sowohl anwendbar auf übliche Verglasungen als auch auf absorbierende oder reflektierende Sonnenschutzgläser, eingesetzt in senkrechten oder waagerechten Lichtöffnungen. Die geeigneten Gleichungen für Einfach-, Doppel- und Dreifachverglasungen sind angegeben. Diese Europäische Norm ist für sämtliche lichtdurchlässige Materialien entsprechend anwendbar, ausge-nommen solche, die eine nennenswerte Transmission im Wellenlängenbereich von 5 µm bis 50 µm von Strahlung bei Raumtemperatur aufweisen, wie z. B. gewisse Kunststoffe. Materialien mit lichtstreuenden Eigenschaften für die auftreffende Strahlung werden grundsätzlich wie normale lichtdurchlässige Stoffe unter Beachtung bestimmter Bedingungen (siehe 5.2) behandelt. Die Eigenschaften von schrägem Licht und die Strahlungseigenschaften von Glas in Gebäuden werden in dieser Norm nicht erfasst. Forschungsarbeiten, die in diese Richtung gehen, werden jedoch zusammen-fassend in [1], [2] und [3] dargestellt.

Verre dans la construction - Détermination des caractéristiques lumineuses et solaires des vitrages

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes de détermination des caractéristiques lumineuses et solaires des vitrages de bâtiment. Ces caractéristiques peuvent servir de base aux calculs relatifs à l'éclairement et au conditionnement thermique des locaux et permettre d'établir des comparaisons entre différents types de vitrage.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aussi bien aux vitrages conventionnels qu'à ceux présentant des propriétés d'absorption et de réflexion de l'énergie solaire, et utilisés comme vitrages verticaux ou horizontaux. Des formules appropriées sont établies pour des vitrages simples, doubles ou triples. La présente Norme européenne s'applique à tous les matériaux transparents, à l'exception de ceux qui
présentent une transmission non négligeable dans le domaine spectral de 5 μm à 50 μm du rayonnement émis par les corps à température ambiante, telles certaines feuilles de matériaux plastiques.
Les matériaux caractérisés par des propriétés de diffusion du rayonnement incident sont traités comme des matériaux transparents conventionnels sous certaines réserves (voir 5.2).
présente norme. Toutefois, les travaux de recherche dans ce domaine sont résumés en E.1, E.2 et E.3. Bien que la présente Norme européenne présente les formules permettant le calcul exact des caractéristiques spectrales d'un vitrage, elle ne tient pas compte de l'incertitude des mesures nécessaire pour déterminer les paramètres spectraux qui sont utilisés dans les calculs. Il convient de noter que, pour des vitrages simples où peu de mesures sont requises, l'incertitude des résultats sera satisfaisante si des méthodes de mesurage
correctes ont été suivies. (...)

Steklo v gradbeništvu - Določevanje svetlobnih in sončnih karakteristik stekla

Ta evropski standard določa metode za določevanje svetlobnih in sončnih karakteristik stekla v zgradbah. Te karakteristike se lahko uporabljajo kot osnova za izračune osvetljave, gretja in hlajenja prostorov in omogočajo primerjavo med različnimi vrstami stekla.
Ta evropski standard velja za konvencionalno steklo in za absorpcijsko ali odsevno steklo za nadzor sonca, ki se uporablja kot navpična ali vodoravna steklena odprtina. Podane so ustrezne formule za enojno, dvojno in trojno steklo.
Ta evropski standard ustrezno velja za vse prosojne materiale, razen za tiste, ki kažejo bistveno prepustnost v območju valovnih dolžin med 5 µm in 50 µm sevanja okoljske temperature, kot so nekateri plastični materiali.
Materiali z lastnostmi sipanja svetlobe za naključno sevanje se obravnavajo kot konvencionalni prosojni materiali ob upoštevanju nekaterih zahtev (glej 5.2).
Kotna svetloba in sončne lastnosti stekla v gradbeništvu so izvzete iz tega standarda. Raziskovalno delo s tega področja pa je povzeto v E.1, E.2 in E.3.
Medtem ko ta evropski standard predstavlja formule za natančne izračune spektralnih lastnosti stekla, ne obravnava negotovosti potrebnih meritev za določanje spektralnih parametrov, ki se uporabljajo pri izračunih. Treba je upoštevati, da je pri preprostih steklenih sistemih, pri katerih je potrebnih le malo meritev, negotovost rezultatov zadovoljiva, če se upoštevajo pravilni postopki merjenja. Če pa so stekleni sistemi kompleksni in je za določanje spektralnih parametrov potrebno več meritev, je negotovost kumulativna glede na število meritev in se mora upoštevati pri končnih rezultatih.
Izraz vmesnik, ki se uporablja v tem evropskem standardu, je površina, ki jo označujeta prosojnost in odsevi svetlobnih intenzitet.

EN 410:2011 (E) 4 Introduction While this European Standard presents the formulae for the exact calculations of the spectral characteristics of glazing, it does not consider the uncertainty of the measurements necessary to determine the spectral parameters that are used in the calculations. It should be noted that, for simple glazing systems where few measurements are required, the uncertainty of the results will be satisfactory if correct measurements procedures have been followed. When the glazing systems become complex and a large number of measurements are required to determine the spectral parameters, the uncertainty is cumulative with the number of measurements and should be considered in the final results.
The term interface used in this European Standard, is considered to be a surface characterized by its transmission and reflections of light intensities. That is, the interaction with light is incoherent, all phase information being lost. In the case of thin films (not described in this European Standard), interfaces are characterized by transmission and reflections of light amplitudes, i.e. the interaction with light is coherent and phase information is available. Finally, for clarity, a coated interface can be described as having one or more thin films, but the entire stack of thin films is characterized by its resulting transmission and reflection of light intensities. In Annex B, the procedure for the calculation of spectral characteristics of laminated glass makes specific reference to coated glass. The same procedure can be adopted for filmed glass (e.g. adhesive backed polymeric film applied to glass). SIST EN 410:2011

EN 410:2011 (E) 8 5 Determination of characteristics 5.1 General The characteristics are determined for quasi-parallel, near normal radiation incidence (see Bibliography, [4]) using the radiation distribution of illuminant D65 (see Table 1), solar radiation in accordance with Table 2 and ultraviolet (UV) radiation in accordance with Table 3. The characteristics are as follows:  the spectral transmittance
and the spectral reflectance
in the wavelength range from 300 nm to 2500 nm;
 the light transmittance
and the light reflectance
for illuminant D65;  the solar direct transmittance
and the solar direct reflectance ;
 the total solar energy transmittance (solar factor) g ;
 the UV-transmittance ;  the general colour rendering index Ra;  the total shading coefficient, SC. To characterize glazing, the principal parameters are
and g; the other parameters are optional to provide additional information. If the value of a given characteristic is required for different glass thicknesses (in the case of uncoated glass) or for the same coating applied to different substrates, it can be obtained by calculation (in accordance with Annex A). A procedure for the calculation of the spectral characteristics of laminated glass is given in Annex B. Guidelines on determining the spectral characteristics of screen printed glass are given in Annex C. 5.2 Light transmittance The light transmittance
of the glazing is calculated using the following formula:
(1) where
is the relative spectral distribution of illuminant D65 (see Bibliography [5]);
is the spectral transmittance of the glazing;
is the spectral luminous efficiency for photopic vision defining the standard observer for photometry (see Bibliography [5]);
is the wavelength interval. SIST EN 410:2011



EN 410:2011 (E) 9 Table 1 indicates the values for for wavelength intervals of 10 nm. The table has been drawn up in such a way that . In the case of multiple glazing, the spectral transmittances
are calculated from the spectral transmittances and reflectances of the individual components as follows :
For double glazing:

is the spectral transmittance of the first (outer) pane;
is the spectral transmittance of the second pane;
is the spectral reflectance of the first (outer) pane, measured in the direction opposite to the incident radiation;

of such glazing from the spectral coefficients of the individual components. As an example, glazing composed of five components may be treated as follows: a) first consider the first three components as triple glazing and calculate the spectral characteristics of this combination; b) next, run the same procedure for the next two components as double glazing; c) then calculate
for the five component glazing, considering it as double glazing consisting of the preceding triple and double glazing. NOTE 1 The use of an integrating sphere is necessary when light scattering materials are tested. In this case the size of the sphere and its aperture shall be large enough to collect all possible scattered light and to obtain fair average values when surface patterns are irregularly distributed. NOTE 2 Measurement of light scattering glass products is the subject of a round robin test programme under the responsibility of International Commission on Glass Technical Committee 10. The results of this programme are expected to include suggestions for improvements in measurement and prediction techniques. 5.3 Light reflectance The light reflectance of the glazing
is calculated using the following formula:
(4) where
,
and
are as explained in 5.2;
is the spectral reflectance of the glazing. SIST EN 410:2011



EN 410:2011 (E) 12 In the case of multiple glazing, the spectral reflectance
is calculated from the spectral transmittances and the spectral reflectances of the individual components as follows. For double glazing, the external light reflectance of the glazing is calculated as follows:
(5) where ,
and
are as explained in 5.2;
is the spectral reflectance of the first (outer) pane, measured in the direction of incident radiation. A corresponding equation can also be derived for calculating the internal light reflectance. For triple glazing, the external light reflectance of the glazing is calculated as follows:
(6) where
is the spectral reflectance of the third pane, measured in the direction of the incident radiation; , , , ,
and
are as defined in 5.2 and 5.3. A corresponding equation the internal light reflectance of triple glazing can also be derived. For glazing with more than three elements the same method as described in 5.2 is used. 5.4 Total solar energy transmittance (solar factor) 5.4.1 Calculation The total solar energy transmittance
is calculated as the sum of the solar direct transmittance
and the secondary heat transfer factor
of the glazing towards the inside (see 5.4.3 and 5.4.6), the latter resulting from heat transfer by convection and longwave IR-radiation of that part of the incident solar radiation which has been absorbed by the glazing:
(7) 5.4.2 Division of incident solar radiant flux The incident solar radiant flux
is divided into the following three parts (see Figure 3): a) the transmitted part, ; b) the reflected part, ; c) the absorbed part, ; SIST EN 410:2011



EN 410:2011 (E) 13 where

EN 410:2011 (E) 14 5.4.3 Solar direct transmittance The solar direct transmittance
of the glazing is calculated using the following formula:
(10) where
is the relative spectral distribution of the solar radiation (see Table 2);
is the spectral transmittance of the glazing;
is the wavelength interval. In the case of multiple glazing, the spectral transmittance
is calculated in accordance with 5.2. The relative spectral distribution, , used to calculate the solar direct transmittance is derived from CIE 85 [6]. The corresponding values
are given in Table 2. The table was drawn up in such a way that . NOTE Contrary to real situations, it is always assumed, for simplification, that the spectral distribution of the solar radiation (see Table 2) is not dependent upon atmospheric conditions (e.g. dust, mist, moisture content) and that the solar radiation strikes the glazing as a collimated beam and at normal incidence. The resulting errors are very small. 5.4.4 Solar direct reflectance The solar direct reflectance
of the glazing is calculated using the following formula:
(11) where
is the relative spectral distribution of the solar radiation (see Table 2);
is the spectral reflectance of the glazing;
is the wavelength interval. In the case of multiple glazing, the spectral reflectance
is calculated in accordance with 5.3. 5.4.5 Solar direct absorptance The solar direct absorptance
is calculated from Equation (8) in 5.4.2. 5.4.6 Secondary heat transfer factor towards the inside 5.4.6.1 Boundary conditions For the calculation of the secondary heat transfer factor towards the inside, , the heat transfer coefficients of the glazing towards the outside, , and towards the inside,
are needed. These values mainly depend on SIST EN 410:2011



EN 410:2011 (E) 15 the position of the glazing, wind velocity, inside and outside temperatures and furthermore on the temperature of the two external glazing surfaces. As the purpose of this standard is to provide basic information on the performance of glazing, conventional conditions have been stated for simplicity: a) position of the glazing: vertical; b) outside surface: wind velocity: approximately 4 m/s, corrected emissivity = 0,837; c) inside surface: natural convection, emissivity optional; d) air spaces are unventilated. Under these conventional, average conditions, standard values for
and
are obtained:
where

and .
The corrected emissivity shall be defined and measured in accordance with EN 12898. NOTE Values lower than 0,837 for
(due to surface coatings with higher reflectance in the far infra-red) are only to be taken into account if condensation on the coated surface can be excluded. 5.4.6.2 Single glazing The secondary internal heat transfer factor, , of single glazing is calculated using the following formula:
(12) where
is the solar direct absorptance in accordance with 5.4.5;
and
are the heat transfer coefficients towards the outside and inside respectively in accordance with 5.4.6.1. 5.4.6.3 Double glazing The secondary internal heat transfer factor, qi, of double glazing is calculated using the following formula:

FprEN 410:2010 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods of determining the luminous and solar characteristics of glazing in buildings. These characteristic can serve as a basis for lighting, heating and cooling calculations of rooms and permit comparison between different types of glazing. This European Standard applies both to conventional glazing and to absorbing or reflecting solar-control glazing, used as vertical or horizontal glazed apertures. The appropriate formulae for single, double and triple glazing are given. This European Standard is accordingly applicable to all transparent materials except those which show significant transmission in the wavelength region 5 µm to 50 µm of ambient temperature radiation, such as certain plastic materials. Materials with light-scattering properties for incident radiation are dealt with as conventional transparent materials subject to certain conditions (see 5.2). Angular light and solar properties of glass in building are excluded from this Standard. However, research work in this area is summarised in E.1, E.2 and E.3. While this European Standard presents the formulae for the exact calculations of the spectral characteristics of glazing, it does not consider the uncertainty of the measurements necessary to determine the spectral parameters that are used in the calculations. It should be noted that, for simple glazing systems where few measurements are required, the uncertainty of the results will be satisfactory if correct measurements procedures have been followed. When the glazing systems become complex and a large number of measurements are required to determine the spectral parameters, the uncertainty is cumulative with the number of measurements and should be considered in the final results.
The term interface used in this European Standard, is considered to be a surface characterized by its transmission and reflections of light intensities. That is, the interaction with light is incoherent, all phase information being lost. In the case of thin films (not described in this European Standard), interfaces are characterized by transmission and reflections of light amplitudes, i.e. the interaction with light is coherent and phase information is available. Finally, for clarity, a coated interface can be described as having one or more thin films, but the entire stack of thin films is characterized by its resulting transmission and reflection of light intensities. In Annex B, the procedure for the calculation of spectral characteristics of laminated glass makes specific reference to coated glass. The same procedure can be adopted for filmed glass (e.g. adhesive backed polymeric film applied to glass). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

5 Determination of characteristics 5.1 General The characteristics are determined for quasi-parallel, near normal radiation incidence (see E.4) using the radiation distribution of illuminant D65 (see Table 1), solar radiation in accordance with Table 2 and ultraviolet (UV) radiation in accordance with Table 3. The characteristics are as follows:  the spectral transmittance
and the spectral reflectance
in the wavelength range from 300 nm to 2500 nm;
 the light transmittance
and the light reflectance
for illuminant D65;  the solar direct transmittance
and the solar direct reflectance ;
 the total solar energy transmittance (solar factor) g ;
 the UV-transmittance ;  the general colour rendering index Ra;  the total shading coefficient, SC. To characterize glazing, the principal parameters are
and g; the other parameters are optional to provide additional information. If the value of a given characteristic is required for different glass thicknesses (in the case of uncoated glass) or for the same coating applied to different substrates, it can be obtained by calculation (in accordance with Annex A). A procedure for the calculation of the spectral characteristics of laminated glass is given in Annex B. Guidelines on determining the spectral characteristics of screen printed glass are given in Annex C. 5.2 Light transmittance The light transmittance
of the glazing is calculated using the following formula:

are calculated from the spectral transmittances and reflectances of the individual components as follows :
For double glazing:

is the spectral transmittance of the second pane;
is the spectral reflectance of the first (outer) pane, measured in the direction opposite to the incident radiation;

Figure 2 — Transmittance and reflectance in a triple glazing insulating glass unit For glazing with more than three components, formulae similar to Equations (2) and (3) are found to calculate
of such glazing from the spectral coefficients of the individual components. As an example, glazing composed of five components may be treated as follows: a) first consider the first three components as triple glazing and calculate the spectral characteristics of this combination; b) next, run the same procedure for the next two components as double glazing; c) then calculate
for the five component glazing, considering it as double glazing consisting of the preceding triple and double glazing. NOTE 1 The use of an integrating sphere is necessary when light scattering materials are tested. In this case the size of the sphere and its aperture shall be large enough to collect all possible scattered light and to obtain fair average values when surface patterns are irregularly distributed. NOTE 2 Measurement of light scattering glass products is the subject of a round robin test programme under the responsibility of International Commission on Glass Technical Committee 10. The results of this programme are expected to include suggestions for improvements in measurement and prediction techniques. kSIST FprEN 410:2010

(5) where ,
and

For glazing with more than three elements the same method as described in 5.2 is used. 5.4 Total solar energy transmittance (solar factor) 5.4.1 Calculation The total solar energy transmittance

are given in Table 2. The table was drawn up in such a way that . NOTE Contrary to real situations, it is always assumed, for simplification, that the spectral distribution of the solar radiation (see Table 2) is not dependent upon atmospheric conditions (e.g. dust, mist, moisture content) and that the solar radiation strikes the glazing as a collimated beam and at normal incidence. The resulting errors are very small. 5.4.4 Solar direct reflectance The solar direct reflectance

A standard relative spectral distribution for the UV part of the global solar radiation, , is given (see D.4). Table 3 gives the values of

NOTE If statements are made about the UV transmission of glazing, in most cases it is sufficient to give , the transmittance for the total UV radiation contained in global solar radiation. Only in special cases would there be any interest in the transmittances for the sub-ranges UV-A and UV-B. 5.6 Colour rendering The colour rendering properties of glazing in transmission are expressed by the general colour rendering index . This index enables to express synthetically a quantitative evaluation of the differences in colour between eight test colours lighted directly by the reference illuminant D65 and by the same illuminant transmitted through the glazing (see D.5). NOTE D.5 suggests to determine the colour rendering index with the help of a diskette. The user should be aware of the fact that the program contained in the diskette automatically compares the light filtered by a given glazing with the illuminant having the nearest colour temperature, rather than with D65. The test colours are defined by their spectral reflectance
(i from 1 to 8), reported in Table 4 (see D.5). The relative spectral energy distribution of illuminant D65 is reported in Table 5 (see D.2). The procedure to determine the general colour rendering index is the following. Calculate the tristimulus values , ,
