solar gain through low-E glass
Ooh I didn't know you'd got that. Am I right in thinking that your solar gain is reduced in the first place by the low-E glass? I.e. it works both ways right?
I'm interested in it anyway for the usual reasons, but the front of our house faces west and the sun is crazy in summer. It heats up our first floor front room something crazy then this heat rises into our loft bedroom, so I was thinking that low-E glass might help reduce that a bit (as part of a bigger package of stuff).

Heating has been off for a while as solar gain through low-E glass means it’s a bit warm now with 22.9° of free heat.
More impressed with the slow heat loss overnight when it’s sub zero outside with a solid wall and a huge 5m single glazed window that’s been insulated/secondary glazed.
