Question: A square room has only one external wall which faces North with a length of 7 . 7 6 m and a height of 3

A square room has only one external wall which faces North with a length of 7.76 m and a height of 3.48 m. The wall has a total R value of 1.33 m^2\deg C/W (no surface resistances are included). There is one window which is double glazed (U value =3.68 W/m^2\deg C and has a SHGC =0.6) and takes up 34% of the wall area. The internal heat gain due to people and equipment is 19 W/m^2. The daily average combined outside radiation and convection heat transfer coefficient (h_comb,o) is 25 W/m^2\deg C, the daily average combined inside radiation and convection heat transfer coefficient (h_comb,i) is 8 W/m^2\deg C, the daily average outside temperature is 5\deg C, and the daily average solar irradiance is 88 W/m^2. For simplicity, assume there is no ventilation heat loss and no heat transfer to the room through the roof, floor, or internal walls.
