Abstract

In order to study the heat insulation and indoor light adjusting ability of fabric, the optical properties of usual shading fabric were tested using spectrophotometer which measurement range is 190nm~3300nm. Under different open porosity, the ultraviolet transmittance, solar direct transmittance, solar direct reflectance, visible light transmittance, shading coefficient of black and white fabric which has different position with glazing were tested, and fabric itself shading coefficient calculation method was put forward. Test results show that: the shading effect difference between plain and twill fabric was small. With the increase of porosity of fabric, shading effect decreased. External shading fabric has the better shading effect than intermediate fabric, and internal shading fabric is the worst. The fabric color has a great influence on the optical properties, from the point of energy conservation, dark fabric is the best choice using in external shading, but on intermediate and internal shading light fabric has priority.
