The correlation between diffuse and total horizontal radiation is reviewed and examined for data on the monthly average daily horizontal radiation collected at several Canadian stations. A regional correlation is developed based on Toronto-Montreal and Goose Bay data, which is valid for a large region. A solar building heat simulation study was performed using regional correlations.
