Question: First you will determine the heat loss from a complex of 6 Freestanding Gable Greenhouses, each 1 2 m wide by 3 0 m long

First you will determine the heat loss from a complex of 6 Freestanding Gable Greenhouses, each 12m wide by 30m long and 2.6m high. There is no foundation to calculate. Ignore any heat losses from the ground or foundation as they are not part of this simplified question. Note: You are calculating the heat loss from the greenhouse complex. Following the steps will give you the answers for the complex. Please do not give answers for each greenhouse independently.
Specifications:
Outside Temp -40C
Inside Temp 22C
Wind 60kmhr
Convection heat below benches
Double Polycarbonate Glazing
Answer these questions in order and number your answers. Show your calculations. Include units where appropriate.
Since you only have one exterior material, there is only one RSI value. What is it?
a. How many 12m walls are there on all 6 houses?
b. What is the total area of these walls?
a. How many 30m walls are there on the 6 houses?
b. What is the total area of these walls?
a. How many gable ends are there on the 6 houses?
b. What is the area of each gable end?
c. What is the total are of gables?
a. How many 6.7m30m roof slopes are there on 6 houses?
b. What is the total area of roof?
What is the total area of polycarbonate?
NOTE: Do not calculate heat loss here as this question is continued in B1-2-2 which builds on the information determined in B1-2-1. If you submit early enough, you can receive marks and feedback from B1-2-1 prior to submitting B1-2-2 so you do not carry errors over into B1-2-2.
