Technical characteristics of the new windows:

• Uw: Heat transmission coefficient for windows (the heat transmission coefficient U, in Watt per m² per degree Kelvin, W/m².K, represents the ability of the window and frame to transmit heat).
• Swsp: The solar heat gain coefficient for unshaded windows indicates the percentage of solar heat transmitted by the window towards the interior of the dwelling.
• Ug: Thermal transmittance coefficient for glazing.
