Abstract

An explicit expression for periodic heat flux through extended structures and projections has been obtained in terms of Fourier series. Numerical results show that it is imperative to include hourly variation of solair and ambient temperatures for realistic thermal load calculation of buildings with projections. It is interesting to note that projections may enhance or reduce thermal fluctuations in the incoming heat flux depending upon their transverse dimensions.
