Solar space heating using galvanised iron sheet roofs
This paper examines the feasibility of utilising solar energy to heat buildings having galvanised iron sheet roofs with false ceilings beneath. Numerical predictions are presented for a typical roof area of 2200 m2, below which air is blown at a speed of 2·16 km/h. If, for proper ventilation, the inside air is replaced by fresh air three times an hour, then to maintain the inside temperature at 21·1°C throughout the day, auxilary heating is necessary only in the morning and late evening. For the rest of the day, the solar heat is sufficient to maintain this temperature.
