The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient measures the amount of solar heat that gets through a window. The lower the SHGC, the better a window is at reducing heat gain, and in the end, the cooling costs that go along with it.

is a measure of the window’s ability to reflect the rays of the sun off the window. Anything lower than .40 SHGC would be considered a good window. For SHGC, lower scores demonstrate a window more able to reflect the sun’s rays.
