A' method of determining heal flow rales, when structure is not given in Tables 12 or 13, is illustrated in Example 12.
Example 12: A 4 in. stone concrete roof covered with an.average depth of 4 in. cin
der concrete (i = 4.9) on which is placed a f in. thick felt roof with J in. pitch and slag
surface, is exposed to the sun. 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.

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. 3. 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:
Total heat flow, through glass section
Transmitted, solar radiation
]Heat flow by convective
and radiative exchanges at (7a) the indoor surface
The second term of the right side of Equation 7a can also be expressed by a heat balance equation as follows:

Equations 7a and 7b can be combined and expressed in symbolic terms by Equation 7c. Tabular values of the two bracketed terms of Equation 7a are presented later in this section for various types of glass for specific design conditions.
