Figure Q4 represents a sunroom with 3 external walls facing North, East and South, respectively and an internal wall containing a double door into the main dwelling facing west. The sunroom is to be maintained at \(18^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) throughout the heating season for an outside temperature of \(-2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Assuming that the main dwelling is to be maintained at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), calculate the required heat input to the sunroom given the thermal properties of the building components given in Table Q4. The floor and roof can be taken to be external components. The sunroom height can be taken to be 2.7 m . Assume all glazed and door elements run to the full room height. Air exchange occurs from ambient to sunroom and sunroom to ambient.
