Abstract

The usefulness of solar gain for heating buildings is a function of the ratio of incidental insolation to heat loss. Calculation of this functional relationship on a whole-building basis leads to unsatisfactory results. It has been shown that a satisfactory analysis can only be carried out on a zone-by-zone basis thus allowing for differing orientation, thermal mass, obstruction, impact of adjacent zones and rates of infiltration
