[BLDG-SIM] Window Properties

[John Porterfield]

A good reference, perhaps dated, is U. S. Glass, Metal & Glazing magazine 
article, Aug 1989, by Todd W. Sitrin, provided to me by Southwall 
Technologies.  I advocate use of "reflector shade" as originally conceived 
by Steve Baer of Zomeworks to manage winter/summer transition of solar gain 
and daylight availability, though I haven't had the opportunity to manage an 
installation.  If subscribers have experience with this skylight treatment 
please let me know.  Also, having done numerous infrared scans, I have yet 
to see a skylight well and curb that have been insulated to my liking.  I 
advocate a "lay-light" glazing conforming to the ceiling plane to block 
air/heat/moisture movement to the skylight glazing.
Thanks!
