Comment on Does sunlight through UV-blocking windows warm you less than unfiltered sunlight?

I would think it would depend on whether the material the light hits inside the window reflects UV light, or absorbs it and re-emits it as heat.

Even if it reemits heat, some will be lost to air via convection and half goes wrong way

Less than half, because glass isn’t a great heat conductor.

That’s true of any material that gets warmed by sunlight, though.
