1405
  * **Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K)**: Rate of heat transfer through a material. Lower values indicate better insulation.
1406
  * **Density (kg/m³)**: Mass per unit volume.
1407
- * **Specific Heat (J/kg·K)**: Energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg by 1 K.
1408
  * **Thermal Mass**: Areal heat capacity, categorized as Low (<30,000 J/m²·K), Medium (30,000–90,000 J/m²·K), or High (>90,000 J/m²·K).
1409
  * **U-Value (W/m²·K)**: Overall heat transfer coefficient, accounting for material and surface resistances. Lower values indicate better insulation.
1410
- * **SHGC**: Solar absorption coefficient (0-1). Fraction of incident solar radiation that enters through a fenestration.
1411
  * **Visible Transmittance**: Fraction of visible light that passes through a fenestration.
1412
  * **Embodied Carbon**: Carbon emissions associated with material production, measured in kg CO₂e per unit volume or area.
1413
- * **Cost**: Material’s cost in USD per unit volume or area.
1414
  * **Absorptivity**: Fraction of solar radiation absorbed (0-1). Depends on colour category.
1415
  * **Emissivity**: Ratio of radiation emitted by the material (0-1).
1416
  * **Colour**: Category affecting absorptivity (Light, Medium, Dark, Reflective).
