THE EFFECT OF WIND SPEED ON COOLING LOAD OF BUILDINGS WITH SOLAR CONTROL GLASS.

Summary

THE EFFECT OF WIND SPEED ON HEAT GAINS THROUGH ELEMENTS OF THE STRUCTURE OF A BUILDING WAS INVESTIGATED. PARTICULAR REFERENCE WAS MADE TO HEAT GAINS THROUGH WINDOWS WITH SOLAR CONTROL GLASS. IT WAS FOUND THAT HEAT GAINS THROUGH WALLS, ROOFS, AND WINDOWS WERE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER AT CONDITIONS OF NO WIND THAN WITH A WIND SPEED OF 3.4 M/S. THE INCREASES WERE OVER 50% FOR WALLS AND ROOFS RECEIVING HIGH INTENSITY SOLAR RADIATION AND UP TO 40% FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF SOLAR CONTROL GLASS. THE TOTAL COOLING LOAD OF A SAMPLE BUILDING INCREASED BY ABOUT 20%.
