THERMAL FACTORS ÍNDICES TÉRMICOS BASIC PRINCIPLES PRINCIPIOS BÁSICOS Solar radiation is always partially transmitted through, absorbed or reflected by the fabric. The sum of all 3 equals 100. Ts + Rs + As = 100 % of solar energy. Toda radiación solar es en parte transmitida a través del tejido, absorbida o reflejada por el tejido. La suma de las 3 es igual a 100. Ts + Rs + As = 100 % de la energía solar.
