Sol-air temperatures are especially, helpful in., the calculation of periodic heat transfer, as will be illustrated in the material which follows.
PRINCIPLES OF PERIODIC HEAT FLOW
Calculation principles for periodic heat flow are dealt with briefly in
this section; in the section which follows, practical tables will be given to
facilitate rapid design estimates;

The fundamental" analysis '6f, periodic heat flow is complicated when
compared with steady-state calculations on account of the time-variable
storage of heat from point , to point through, a wall or roof.. The cyclic
variation of outdoor"conditions,produces a related cyclic .variation.,of
temperature and heat flow throughout each structural section exposed to
the weather. The cyclic .variations undergo a progressive shift in phase
and decrease in amplitude in going through a wall with constant cohditions
maintained In themdoob space.
"- ' :
' By a shift in phase is meant that as the cyclic.temperature wave passes through the wall, the time of occurrence of the maximum temperature at any point shifts farther and farther behind the time of the outer-surface maximum :for successive'positions through the wall. "The resultant time lag between the outer-surface and inner-surface maximum,temperatures is important,-for it may be-the determining factor in fixing the time of the maximum cooling load.
By a decrease in amplitude is meant that as the cyclic temperature wave
passes through the wall, "the. jdifferen.ee between the maximum tempera ture of a cycle and the mean temperature of the cycle, which is the ampli tude of the wave by definition, decreases progressively as the wave passes through the wall. The magnitude of the temperature a,mplitude at the . inner wall surface is necessary for the determination of the instantaneous rate "of heat transfer to the indoor space.
Practical design data for periodic heat flow comprise a means of determining the time lag and amplitude decrement for'different wall constructions and any given outdoor cycle of sol-air temperature. Both analytical and experimental studies have been iiiade on this problem7. While the' Unalyticalsolution has been written, it is far .too detailed for
direct use in rapid practical work; and,theiextensive numerical work required to establish a basis for simplified calculations, has been only
