Does a lower shading coefficient result in lower visible light transmittance?
The shading coefficient represents the solar heat gain through the glazing from the total solar energy spectrum. It does not have a direct correlation to visible light transmittance. A good example of this is Zeledyne Versalux Green 2000 High-Performance Tinted Float Glass, which allows for a higher visible light transmittance and, at the same time, a lower shading coefficient than a typical bronze or grey tinted glass.
