Hourly Solar Radiation Data for Vertical and Horizontal Surfaces on Average Days in the United States and Canada
- National Bureau of Standards, Washington, DC (United States)
The majority of the available solar radiation data for the United States and Canada are in the form of either monthly averages of daily total radiation on a horizontal surface or hourly values for cloudless days on horizontal, tilted, and vertical surfaces. Hourly solar radiation data for walls and roofs under ''average'' solar conditions were computed in order to be able to make estimates of the effect that incident solar radiation has on a building and/or its heating and air conditioning system over a heating and/or cooling season. Calculation procedures developed by Liu and Jordan were modified and hourly solar radiation data were compiled for 80 locations in the United States and Canada. Data were also computed and tabulated for a new parameter called ''sol-air temperature for glass.''
