The results show that as the thickness of the glass skins increases, the amount of solar heat gain decreases. Similarly, the wider the distance between the outer and inner glass skins, the lower the thermal transmittance. In comparison with single-skin façades, double-skin façades exhibit the best performance at reducing the solar heat gain. ## Keywords - Solar gain - Transmittance - Thermal - Materials science - Thermal transmittance - Composite material - Optics - Passive solar building design - Atmospheric sciences - Environmental science - Meteorology - Optoelectronics - Geography - Geology - Thermal resistance - Physics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
