Table 13. Coefficients of Transmission ({/) of Concrete Construction Floors and Ceilings
Coefficients are expressed in Bin per (hour) (square foot) (Fahrenheit degree difference in temperature between the atr on the two rides), and are baaed on still air (no trtnrf) conditions on both rides.

Table 14. Coefficients of Tbansmission (U) of Concrete Basement Floors on Ground with Various Types of Finish Flooring-
U = 0.10* Btu per (hr) (sq ft) (Fahrenheit degree temperature difference between the ground and the air over the floor).
Since authentic data are not available, this coefficient is sometimes used for concrete floors on ground. For more recent procedures1* refer to National Bureau of Standards Report BMS-103.
is also assumed that the glass loses heat by radiation to the ground and to the clear sky, which together have an effective radiating temperature below the air temperature. It is therefore necessary to determine, by trial and error, the temperature of the outdoor glass surface such that the sum of the radiation and convection losses equals the heat conducted through the glass section, and equals the heat'delivered to the glass from the heated space. This heat flow, divided by the air-to-air temperature difference, results in a U value which is used in the usual manner. The equivalent surface conductance for radiation and convection combined, based on airlo-svrface temperature difference, therefore varies from about 5.5 for sin gle glass to about 6.6 for double glass for exactly the same environmental design conditions.
It is assumed that the room air temperature equals the average tem perature of the room surfaces seen by the glass. Special consideration .should be given to those cases where the glass sees interior surfaces at
