Radiative cooling Passive or active design strategy that uses thermal mass to collect and
store heat during the day for release at night. Also known as nocturnal cooling and night cooled
mass
Shading coefficient The ratio of the solar heat gain thru a glazing product to the solar heat
gain through an untreated 1/8 in clear double strength glass under the same set of conditions.
This is the value for the glass only, does not include the frame
Solar constant The amount of solar energy that falls in our unit time on her unit area that
is 93,000,000 miles from the sun and orientated on a plane perpendicular to the suns rays. The
mean value of the solar constant is 433 btu/hr-ft
Solar heat gain coefficient The ratio of the solar heat gain thru a fenestration to the total
solar radiation incident on the glazing.
Solar time The time as defined by the sun and it's position relative to the earth. Because
the length of the solar day varies most reference the mean solar day as a basis for timekeeping.

material

exterior wall area
Work plane This assumed height at which work is performed usually considered to be at a
desk height, 30 inches above the floor
Co product A marketable byproduct from a process. Materials traditionally considered to
be waist but they can be repurposed as raw materials and a different manufacturing process.

Pete's discharge rates and provides gravity settling of pollutants. Provides a gradual release of
stored water at a controlled rate
Drainage easement The legal rights granted by a land owner to a grantee, commonly a
governmental entity, allowing the use of private land for Stormwater management
Embodied energy The total energy required to extract produce fabricate and deliver
material to a job site including the collection of raw materials, the energy used to achieve extract
and process the wrong materials, transportation from the original site to the processing plant, that
energy required to turn the wrong materials into a finish product, and energy required to
transport the material to the job site
Fee in Lieu Payment of money by developer in place of meeting all or part of stormwater
performance standards
Hydraulic soil group Soil, classification for run off potential A classification of soil based
on their potential for a run off with the really wet.
