3. Pay Particular Attention to Solar Heat Gain Solar heat gain is a particular concern for mid- and high-rise buildings where shading is difficult to provide and some units may have their windows only in a single, unfavorable orientation. Building energy codes limit window solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) in warmer climates. But even
