About this document

Solar Heat Gain Calculation Guide by kiran raghukiran is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This chapter discusses how to estimate the solar heat gain through glass for load estimating purposes. It focuses on calculating the heat gain based on factors like glass area, solar intensity, absorption rates, and transmission properties to determine the thermal impact on building loads from direct sunlight penetration through windows and glazing. The calculations can help mechanical designers appropriately size HVAC equipment to offset indoor temperature increases from solar radiation.
