The location is the central part of the United States. Design temperatures are: outdoor 95 F; daily range 20 deg; indoor temperature 80 F Find the heat flow rate at 2:00 p.m. for a day in July.
Solution: For the purpose of selecting the equivalent temperature differential, this construction is assumed to be equal approximately to an uninsulated 6 in. concrete roof for which the equivalent temperature is found to be 38 deg in the 2:00 p.m. column of Table 9. Calculate the overall heat transmission coefficient!/ (see Equa tion 3 of Chapter 9) of the roof as follows:

The heat flow rate is then 38 X 0.33 equals 12.5 Btu per (hr) (sq ft).

mission coefficient for summer is taken from Table 11 and is found to be 0.13. The heat flow rate equals 34 X 0.13 = 4.42 Btu per (hr) (sq ft).
Example 6: For the conditions of Example S, find the rate of heat flow into build ing at 2:00 p.m. during July for design temperatures of 105 F (outdoor) and 78 F (in door). Daily range of temperature 30 deg, i.e., outdoor temperature minimum of 75 F which occurs at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m.; this being 30 deg less than the maximum.
Solution: Make correction in equivalent temperature differential in accordance with Note 5 in Table 9 as follows:
The correction for 27 deg design temperature difference is (27 -- 15) =+ 12.
(- 3--0_---20\ ) -- ~ 5.
Net total correction is + 12 -- 5 => + 7.
The heat flow rate at 2:00 p.m. therefore is (34 + 7) X 0.13 = 5.32 Btu per (hr) (sq ft).
A method of determining heat flow rates, when structure is not given $ Tables 9 or 10, is illustrated in Example 7 which follows.
TABLES FOR CALCULATING SOLAR HEAT GAIN THROUGH GLASS AREAS
Basic Principles
In order to set forth the principles involved in calculating heat flow through glass areas, the general instantaneous heat-balance relation will be presented. It will be shown schematically in Fig. 2. The net heat gain for the indoor space is the result of several contributing phenomena. Some observations concerning the behavior of glass with respect to radiant energy will lead to a better understanding of the heat-balance relation. To various degrees glass transmits radiation having wave lengths between 0.29 and 4.75 microns. Of the portion not transmitted, part is absorbed, and the remainder is reflected. Outside these limits glass is opaque, absorbing approximately 94 percent and reflecting 6 percent. Only a negligible amount of radiant energy from a surface at 450 F has a wave length shorter than 4.75 microns. It is therefore convenient to treat all forms of solar radiant energy separately from radiant energy from other sources, so long as the temperature of these sources is not over approxi mately 450 F.
The complete heat-balance for a glass section can be expressed for a unit time interval as follows:

The second term of the right side of Equation 2a can also be expressed by a heat balance equation as follows:

Equations 2a and 2b can be combined and expressed in symbolic terms y Equation 2c. Tabular values of the two bracketed terms of Equation
-a are presented later in this section for various types of glass for specific design conditions.
