Different modes of taking shadow into account in cooling load procedures.

Summary

Problems due to the dynamics of shadows made on a building by the sun, and playing a role in the calculation of the thermal balance, are examined. The solar radiation, like the shape of the shadows, varies. Thermal loads obtained by two calculation methods are compared (the method based on the refrigerating load factor and the transfer function method). This last method seems to give good results in transient systems; an application of it is made for the calculation of the impact of shadows on the balance.
