Shade Screening is being widely used in con junction with air conditioning 83'stems to reduce the solar load--thus permitting the use of smaller units and reducing the work load on larger units. The effect of using Kaiser Aluminum Shade Screening is shown on these graphs prepared by Kaiser Aluminum engineers following a test procedure similar to that used at the ASHVE Laboratory (1, 2) during experimental work on the shading of sunlit glass. The accompanying charts illustrate the amount 01 instantaneous heat gain to a room both through unshaded windows and windows protected with Kaiser Shade Screening. Kaiser Aluminum Shade Screening has 17.5 louvers per inch permanently tilted at a downward angle. This stops sun rays before they hit the window glass. With sun angle (apparent) at 37 deg 100 per cent of sun rays are blocked. At 30 deg, 85 per cent. At 25 deg, 75 per cent. At 15 deg, 55 per cent. At 0 deg, 30 per cent. Thus Shade Screening can reduce the amount of instantaneous heat gain through unshaded windows by as much as 78 per cent, while still providing the insect protection of ordinary window' screening.

Insulation Screens KAISER ALUMINUM SHADE SCREENING The instantaneous heat gain measure ments included transmitted direct solar radiation plus the absorbed heat gained by convection and re-radiation plus transmission of heat through the glass caused by inside-outside temperature differentials. Kaiser Aluminum Shade Screening reflects more heat than other commonly used materials thus the screening itself remains cool and emits at a very low rate. These factors of high reflectivity and low emissivity combine with the sun blocking feature of Shade Screening to produce cooler interior temperatures. -Total Solar Load -Instantaneous heat gain through unshaded windows.
