Abstract
The paper provides a data set of luminous and solar properties of glazing units with PCMs in gaps; the data set uses results from an advanced optical facility that overcomes the intrinsic limitations of commercial spectrophotometers in measuring the optical properties of the advanced transparent materials. In detail, transmittance, reflectance and absorptance spectra of double glazing units characterised by different PCM layer thicknesses in the gap, measured at different incident beam angles, are reported. Integrated values calculated according to relevant international standards are thus provided. Optical features of PCM glazing systems are also highlighted and issues related to the integration of these systems in buildings are discussed.
