Question: Between 1 0 : 0 0 and 1 4 : 0 0 , the parameters associated with solar radiation have the values shown in Table

Between 10:00 and 14:00, the parameters associated with solar radiation have the
values shown in Table 1. Outside this period, there is no solar radiation. Calculate, hourly
between 10:00 and 14:00 inclusive, (a) the global solar radiation incident on the south faade
((W)/(m)2) and (b) the solar heat gain through the glazing center, using the angle-dependent
SHGC of the glazing type listed in the picture.
The dimensions of a small building are shown in Figure 1. The upper 50% area of the south faade is a window. The lower 50% area is a sandwich panel. The rest of the building envelope is foam insulation with negligible heat capacity. Other building information is provided in the appendix.

Calculation assumptions: The temperatures of the exterior air and exterior environment are fixed at -20\deg C.
Room air is well mixed and is constant at 20\deg C. The same temperature is for the interior
surfaces.
The thermal capacitance of non-massive building components (i.e., windows and foam
insulation) can be neglected.
One-dimensional heat transfer only in all components.
Ignore the window frame.
Use the approximate radiant heat transfer coefficients given in Table 3 to calculate the
radiant heat transfer. The picture shows picture and the table needed to solve the problem.
Room air is well mixed and is constant at 20\deg C
