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.
Tables 22 and 23 give instantaneous heat gain values for two types of
glass block designed for use in skylights. The Type VI block is 10% x 10%
in. and the Type VII block 12 x 12 in.
It should be noted that the data for Type VI glass block in Tables 22 and 23 are for panels as assembled. Since the manner of mounting this type of block is standard the ratio of glass area to opaque area is virtually constant from one skylight to another. The Type VII glass block may be mounted on a wide range of center-to-center distances. The opaque por tion of the assembly should be considered independent of the glass block. See Reference 24 for more complete information.
These tables are based upon the solar intensity values for a clear atmos phere as given in Table 4. For solar energy transmittance data refer to References 21 and 24.
The values of convection arid radiation gain are based on values of 80 F for indoor air temperature, a maximum outdoor air temperature of 95 F and upon experimentally determined values of solar energy and tempera ture difference between the two faces. Indoor and outdoor convection and radiation heat transfer values are the same as those used for common win

dow glass. Table 24 gives corrections to be applied for other design tem peratures.
Example 9: Find the total instantaneous heat gain through an east wall of s-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 19 tor type I pattern. The factor for Type V is found from Table 20. The convection and radiation gain is found from Table 21 (note the footnote).
The total instantaneous heat gain is, from Equation 2a,
9 = 86 X 0.65 + 26 X 1.4 = 92.3 Btu per (hr)(sq ft).
Effect of Deviations from Design Conditions
