is 90 + 14 = 104 deg, and at 7:00 p.m. is 90 + 24 = 114 deg. . By interpolation, <t> for 6:30 p.m. is 109 deg west of south (at 5:30 a.m. 4> would be 109 deg east of south.) Example 2: Find K for a wall facing 18 deg east of south at 10:00 a.ni. on August 1 at 50 deg north .latitude. Solution: The wall azimuth is 18 deg. The solar azimuth is 48 deg east (Table 7). The wall solar azimuth is 48 -- 18 or 30 deg. From Table 7, f} is 50 deg. Then
' K = cos 0 cos y = cos 50 X cos 30 = 0.643 X 0.866 = 0.557.
Example 3: Find K!or the wall in Example 2 at 3:00 p.m. Solution: The solar azimuth is 65 deg west. The wall solar azimuth is therefore
65 + 18 = 83 deg. The angle 0 is 42 deg.
K = cos 42 X cos 83 = 0.743 X 0.122 = 0.091.
Example 4: Find the total solar irradiation for the wall for the conditions of Example 2.
Solution: Use clear atmosphere solar intensities. ' At 50 deg altitude, the direct normal radiation is 273 Btu per (hr) (sq ft). Then,
, Id = K X Id. = 0.557 X 273 = 152.0 Btu per (hr) (sq ft).
By linear interpolation, the diffuse irradiation is
/d = 25 + M (33 - 25) = 26.6 Btu per (hr) (sq ft).
The total solar irradiation is
It = 152.0 + 26.6 = 178.6 Btu per (hr)(sq ft).
PERIODIC HEAT FLOW THROUGH WALLS AND ROOFS
' The calculation of heat flow, through a structural section of a building exposed to the weather, requires consideration of the diurnal cycles of solar irradiation and air temperature. These cycles and other factors lead to a periodic variation in the instantaneous rate of heat flow into the weather surface, and a related periodic variation in the rate of heat flow into the air conditioned space. Because of heat capacity and other factors, these heat flow cycles are, in general, out of time phase and unequal in amplitude.
In order to calculate the rate of heat entry into the weather surface of a building, it is necessary to know:
1. The intensity of direct solar radiation striking the surface.
2. The absorptivity (or reflectivity) of the surface for direct solar radiation.
3. The intensity of diffuse or sky solar radiation striking the surface.
4. The absorptivity (or reflectivity) of the surface for diffuse or sky solar radia tion.
5. The rate at which the surface emits radiation to the sky and other surround ings.
6. The. rate at which the surface absorbs the low temperature radiation emitted by the sky and other surroundings by virtue of their temperatures and radiating characteristics.
7. The temperature of the surrounding air.
8. The temperature of the outer building surface.
9. The unit convective conductance for heat transfer between the air and the building surface.
The Sol-Air Temperature
_ The complex interrelationship of the above factors can be considerably simplified through the use of the sol-air temperature concept. The sol-
