1. Source. Calculated by Mackey and Wright method (see reference list) and adjusted after siudying
ASHVE original test data. Estimated for July in 40 deg north latitude. (For sol-air temperatures used in
calculations see Table 11.) For typical design day where the maximum outdoor temperature is 95 F and
minimum temperature at night is approximately.75 F (daily range-of. temperature, 20.F) mean 24 hr tem
perature 84 F for a room temperature of 80 F. All roofs have been assumed a dark color which absorbs 90
percent.of 'solar radiation, and reflects only 10 percent.

2. Application. These values may be used for all normal air conditioning estimates; usually without correction, in latitude 0 deg to 50 deg north or south when the load is calculated for the hottest weather.' Note 5 explains how to adjust the temperature differential for other room and outdoor temperatures.
3. Peaked Roofs. If the roof is peaked and the heat gain is primarily due to solar radiation, use for the area of the roof, the area projected on a horizontal plane.
4. Attics. If the ceiling is insulated and if a fan is used in the attic for positive ventilation, the total tem perature differential for a roof exposed to the sun may be decreased 25 percent.

v 5; Corrections. .For temperature difference when outdoor. maximuip'design.temperature.mSnus^rbom is-dif ferent from IS deg. If the Outdoor design temperature, minus room temperature is different'from the base of 15 deg, correct as follows: When the difference is greater (or less) than 15 deg add'the'exceas to (or subtract the deficiency from) the above differentials.
For outdoor daily range of temperature other than SO deg: If the daily range of temperature is less than 20 deg, add 1 de$ for every 2 deg lower daily range; if the daily range is greater than 20 deg, substract 1 deg for every 2 deg higher daily range.' For example, the daily range in Miami, Florida is 12 deg or 8 deg less than 20 deg, therefore, the correction is -f 4 deg at all hours of the day.
L(ight Colors. . Credit should not be taken for light colored roofs except where the permanence ofthe-light color is established by experience, as in rural areas or where there-is little smoke. When the exterior surface
roof exposed to the sun is a light color, such as white or aluminum-(which absorb approximately 50-percent arid'reflect 50 percent of the solar, radiation) add to the temperature differential for roof in shade 55 percent of the difference `between the roof in sun and roof in shade. When the roof exposed to the sun is a medium color such as light grey, blue or green, or bright red, add 80 percent of this difference:
For solar transmission in latitudes other than 40 deg north, and tn othOr months. The table values of tem perature differentials will be approxi mately correct for a roof in the following months:

For other months, the.total temperature differential (t*) may be approximated by'the use of the following formula: `
tx = t -f- (< -- t) ... ir
where t -- temperature differential for the same wall in shade for desired time of day; obtained from Table 12.
ly = maximum solar transmission through glass; Btu per (hr) (sq ft) for flat skylight in July, 40 deg north'latitude (Note: this is maximum value irrespective of time).
/ = same as ly except use the maximum value for flat skylight, for month, and latitude desired for t*
tv -- temperature differential for particular roof exposed to sun for the desired time of day from Table
12.' .

(Note that this 'makes adjustment only-for solar radiation and that there may he additional correction for out-
door, temperature.)

Tables 12. and 13 are based on an equation re-arranged from Equation 5 to read:

r..................~v (6)
Let L + X(<o* -- tm) = Ip, a net equivalent outdoor temperature for com bined periodic and mean heat flow. Magnitudes of <P will vary cyclically with time. Then, :
--
j = V{tp-ti)
............... (7)
which is a simple form analogous to the steady state equations of Chapters 5 and 9. The rate of heat flow is obtained by multiplying the overall heat transmission coefficient of the structure by the equivalent temperature differential obtained from the tables.
Tables 12 and 13 were developed by using an outside surface conductance of 4.0 and an inside film conductance of 1.65 Btu (hr);(sq ft) (E deg): A reduction was made in the temperature differentials for roofs amounting to some 20 percent of solar radiation as' explained by Stewart.12 . This was to compensate for several factors, one of which is the radiant heat lost, to the
