GBlist: Cooked by parking lot <GB_L>
)) client being cooked by adjacent black asphalt parking lot rerad IR((
-- Important -- Where are you located? some comments anyway --
1. Sue lot owner to paint the lot white ;~ } .... naaaa
2. (Low cost) install exterior reflective shade screens that
can intercept incoming radiant energy prior to it reaching
the single pane window ext. surface; shade screen inner surface
would still re-radiate some IR, however.
3. apply a "lo-E" interior film to existing windows (but, single pane
windows are energy _innefficient_ in most of the US now...)
4. Do both step 2 & 3 as package; check costs vs step 5...
5. Replace windows with lo-E glazed units, combined with step 2.
If in an area with high solar heat gains, select glazing designed
for good visible light transmission and appropriate SHG factor
(data -- now becoming available on NFRC rated units)
6. Send check for consulting fees of $0.02 to address below
