R factor is used to determine insulation capability.

Here in Canada, walls are well over R20. So, even if the exterior walls are hot under sunlight, it won't really affect interior living space./ B5 a8 I* S8 ^, b' r, x

However, windows have lower R factors and allow UV radiation (and radiation of other frequency) to enter the house. So, it's best to upgrade your windows, if radiation (i.e. sunlight) is a potential problem. Typically, you can upgrade your windows to triple pane, with sun-stop coatings on both sides. |
