Dear All,

I have a small doubt about the definition presented by the H.A.P. help
database about the "Overall Shade Coefficient". Is it in fact the
"Solar Heat Gain Coefficient" or the "Shade Coefficient"?

I found that there are people using it in both ways, but they are
diferent. The relation between can be found in the ASHRAE Handbook of
Fundamentals and is:

SC=SHGC/0.87

Thanks for the help
Nuno
