This is really special glass I am using here, Jim. The percentage of visible light transmission is guaranteed to be no more than 47% and the UV transmission is only 10%. The shading coefficient is a really low .27 and the relative heat gain is only .32 This is based on how much heat clear glass would transmit. For example, a 1/8" pane of clear glass would be 1, allowing 100% of the sun's heat to penetrate, and the RHG is a whopping 214. The lower the SC and the lower the RHG, the cooler the sunroom. I know these are just numbers and I'll have to see what the "real world" factors will be in all seasons.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
