ESTIMATION OF AVERAGE-DAY SOLAR HEAT GAIN FACTORS.

Author(s) : LAU A. S.

Summary

WINDOW SOLAR HEAT GAINS CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO BUILDING HEATING AND COOLING LOADS. AVERAGE-DAY HEAT GAINS HAVE ALSO BECOME IMPORTANT FOR ESTIMATING ENERGY USE. THE PAPER DEVELOPS LINEAR RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE RATIO OF AVERAGE TO CLEAR DAY SOLAR HEAT GAIN FACTORS (SHGF) AND LONG-TERM PERCENT POSSIBLE SUNSHINE DATA. AVERAGE-DAY SHGFS WERE ESTIMATED USING LONG-TERM MONTHLY AVERAGE, DAILY, HORIZONTAL SOLAR RADIATION DATA FOR 5 US CITIES. LINEAR CORRELATIONS WERE OBTAINED FOR 5 DIFFERENT WINDOW ORIENTATIONS.
