Abstract: To estimate the energy performance of windows, the seasonal accumulated solar heat gain through the windows has to be calculated. A simplified method for calculating seasonal accumulated solar heat gain through windows with arbitrary azimuth and tilt angle is proposed. The method was tested using weather data from seven locations in Japan. The proposed simplified method provided good simulations of detailed hourly calculations.
