Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This work examines the solar performance of double-glazed windows in four offices in ACK buildings with and without solar window film in actual working conditions. Window films are passive thin films stick to the interior or exterior of windows to effect various solar-optical impacts including energy saving, UV reduction, and increased thermal comfort. For this study, the 3M Neutral 20 and 70 are selected which are made of multilayer nanofilms of 220 SAN25/THV 95-nm thick reflective layers. Real-time measurements of temperature, humidity, and luminous were conducted in 5 min intervals over the months of June, July, and August 2019 and data stored through WiFi system in iClouds. Arduino-type microprocessors and various temperature-humidity, and LUX sensors were assembled and programmed to transfer and store data in real time. Exploring and analyzing the data collected for four offices with and without window films in summer of Kuwait, it is evident that window film has good potential to save water by preserving interior humidity to the level of human comfort, decrease interior temperature to save energy and reduce CO footprints, to restrict the solar UV rays to minimum level, and to reduce visual impacts of high solar luminous. The benefits and drawbacks of the selected window films are discussed here for the weather condition of Kuwait.
