Shading coefficient is a number that measures how much light a window lets through relative to a standard 1/8-inch thick piece of clear, double-strength glass. Most measurements for windows now are in solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). If you want to convert between them, the approximate ratio is that SC = SHGC x 1.
