Abstract
A theoretical examination is made of the heat gain to an enclosure due to the direct transmission of solar radiation through glass and subsequent absorption at opaque interior surfaces. Solutions are obtained that define the heat load in terms of the ratio of glass to opague wall area, the thermal properties of the walls, absorption of short-wave radiation by the glass, and the ventilation rate of the enclosure. Transient and steady periodic forms of the incident short-wave radiation are considered.
