the same that a single table suffices. Note, however, that corrections must be made for certain hours for east and west facing walls of some patterns.
Example 10: Find the total instantaneous heat gain through an east wall of 8-in. hollow glass block of Type V pattern at 8 a.m. and 50 deg north latitude. The design temperatures are 80 F indoors and 95 F maximum outdoor dry-bulb, clear atmosphere.
Solution: The gain due to transmitted solar radiation is found from Table 20 for Type I pattern. The factor for Type V is found from Table 22. The convection and radiation gain is found from Table 21 (note the footnote).
The total instantaneous heat gain is, from Equation 2a,
q = 86 X 0.65 + 26 X 1.4 = 92.3 Btu per (hr)(sq ft).
Effect of Deviations from Design Conditions
If the indoor temperature differs from 80 F, or the design outdoor drybulb temperature differs from 95 F, corrections can be made to the convec tion and radiation gain values for flat glass, rolled figured glass, and glass block according to the schedule in Table 23.
The effect of the humid industrial type atmosphere is to cause a con siderable reduction in heat gain, if all factors except solar intensity remain the same. Reference 22 gives heat gain values for four orientations at 40 deg north latitude on August 1 for several types of flat glass and glass block, and solar intensities typical of humid industrial atmospheres. These data show that the following approximate reductions, based on total gain for the day, can be expected: 20 percent for all types of glass and glass block in east or west facing walls; 10 percent for south facing flat glass; 5 percent for south facing glass block walls.
Shading of Glass Areas--Design Tables
The effects and possibilities of shading should be carefully investigated whenever the heat gain from glass is a large portion of the cooling load.
Vertical glass, which is not mounted in the plane of the building surface, is partially shaded by the setback. If a vertical window of. height l and width w be set back from the plane of the building a distance s, the fraction of the total area of the window which receives direct solar radiation is:

n = e/I, r, = s/w, 0 = solar altitude, and y is the wall solar azimuth (see Fig. l)-

In this instance the convection and radiation heat gain is due principally to temperature difference, so that shading has but a small effect on that portion of the absorbed radiation. Hence, the factor 0.851 is applied
