and 3 give the heat flow through the inside surface of roofs 6 with details of the construction of the roofs tested. The conditions for which these' results are given are: solar radiation for 40 deg north latitude on August 1 as given in Fig. 1, outdoor design temperature reaching a maximum,of 95 F as shown in Fig. 4, and an indoor temperature of 75 F. Due to devi ations in the tests from design temperature, solar conditions, and typical construction it is believed that the values from Figs. 2 and 3, as well as from Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 for walls, may be as much as 20 to 30 per cent below normal design expectations.
Curves in Figs. 5, .6, 7 and 8 were prepared by the A.S.H.V.E. Lab oratory from tests made there and show the heat flow through the inside surface of three types of walls for various orientations 5.. The results are given for the following conditions: 90 per cent of the solar radiation given in Fig. 1 for 40 deg north latitude on August 1; outdoor design tempera ture reaching a maximum .of 95 F, as shown in Fig. 4, and an indoor tem perature of 78 F and 50 per cent relative humidity....
The heat flow shown in Figs. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 is a combination of normal transmission and solar radiation-transmission and is the-total heat flow through the wall or roof. Due to. the heat capacity of walls and roofs there is a time lag 2 in the transmission of heat through them as shown by the curves. For the types of construction covered, in these ljgures arid for the conditions indicated, the heat flow through, the inside surface at any given, time can be read directly. ' ,For other types of con struction, the curves may be used as a guide in estimating the heat flow.
