1. Solar radiation through wooden windows

𝑞 = 𝑞 ′′ 𝐴𝑠 𝐶𝑓

𝑞 ′′ = solar heat flux

𝐴𝑠 = the surface area of glass under consideration;

𝐶𝑓 = correction factors, for this project, the reference glass (3 mm thick, absorptivity 6%, reflectivity 8%)
without shade is considered; therefore,

𝐶𝑓 = considered 1.

Surface area of glass

There are 2 steel casement wood windows facing north:

𝐴𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑡ℎ = 1.5 × 3m × 1m = 4.5𝑚2

Solar heat flux

We can obtain value of solar heat flux 𝑞 ′′ from Table number 14, and Darwin is at 12.4° South latitude.

For north windows, at 3PM in January 21

At 10° South latitude 𝑞 ′′ = 44𝑊/𝑚2 ;

At 20° South latitude 𝑞 ′′ = 44𝑊/𝑚2 ;

So, q′′𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑡ℎ = 44W/𝑚2 for north windows.

Assume 𝑞 ′′ = 𝑥𝑊/𝑚2 at 12.4° South latitude

2. Solar and transmission gain through walls and roof

𝑞 = 𝐴𝑠 ∆𝑡𝑒 𝑈

𝐴𝑠 = surface area of the wall under consideration in 𝑚2 ;

U = transmission coefficient through walls in W/𝑚2 . ℃;

𝛥𝑡𝑒 = equivalent temperature difference in ℃.

2.1 Solar and transmission gain through the walls

For wall facing north, area = 5.30m × 3m – 4.5𝑚2 = 11.40 𝑚2

For the wall east side, area= 2m ×3 m = 6 𝑚2

Transmission coefficient

From the Table 25

for brick veneer wall (110mm brick, 150mm air) with 9mm fibrous plaster finish in summer,

we can obtain

𝑈 = 2.12 𝑊/𝑚2 . ℃

Mass per unit Area is 222 𝑘𝑔/𝑚2

Equivalent temperature difference

Daily range from Table 1 is 6.9℃;

Outdoor temperature from Table 1 is 34.5℃;

Outdoor temperature minus Room design temperature

𝑇 = 34.5℃ − 22℃ = 12.5℃

Due to the daily range and the outdoor and room design temperature difference is not 10℃, as a result
the latitude is 12.4° South other than the 40° South. So, 𝛥𝑡𝑒 the equivalent temperature is
approximated as follows:
𝜎𝑠
∆𝑡𝑒 = ∆𝑡𝑒𝑠 + (∆𝑡𝑒𝑚 − ∆𝑡𝑒𝑠 )
𝜎𝑚
∆𝑡𝑒 is the equivalent temperature difference for latitude, month and time of day desired, if corrected
the necessary for design conditions;

∆𝑡𝑒𝑠 is the equivalent temperature difference for the same wall or roof in shade at 40° South and at the
desired time of day, correction done if necessary;

∆𝑡𝑒𝑚 is the difference of equivalent temperature for wall or roof exposed to the sun at 40° South and for
desired time of day;

𝜎𝑠 is the max. solar heat gain having unit W/𝑚2 through glass for wall facing or horizontal for roofs, for
month and latitude desired;

𝜎𝑚 is the max. solar heat gain having unit W/𝑚2 through the glass for wall facing or horizontal for roofs,
for January at 40° South latitude;

From the table 23,

We obtain correction value for the equivalent temperature.
