Equation: Cooling Load, Btu/hr = [Peak solar heat gain, Btu/(hr) (sq ft), (Table 6)]
[Window area, sq ft]
[Shade factor, Haze factor, etc., (Chapter 4)]
[Storage factor, (above Table at desired time)]
Bare glass-Any window with no inside shading device. Windows with shading devices on the outside or shaded by external projections are
considered bare glass.
These factors apply when maintaining a CONSTANT TEMPERATURE in the space during the operating period. Where the temperature is
allowed to swing, additional storage will result during peak load periods. Refer to Table 13 for applicable storage factors.
