Vital Signs Case Study
******************** Data ********************
Light Transmittance
At 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17, 1999, a
transmitted solar radiation of 176.38 W/m2 was measured through the transparent glass. With
the mesh shade closed, the transmitted solar radiation was
reduced to 13.39 W/m2.
When the solid shade was closed, the transmitted solar radiation
reduced to 0.01 W/m2.
Light transmittance of the MESH SHADE = 7.59%
Light transmittance of the SOLID SHADE = 0.01%
