| 1) amt of heat loss thru 1 unit of area of bldg mat. is dependent on the coefficient of heat transmission of mat. & temp differential btwn inside & out - for entire area of one mat. type, value is multiplied by total area to get total heat loss "q" | q = U A ΔT *in order to calculate heat loss for entire rm or bldg, all different heat losses (walls, wndws, roof, etc) must be solved for & then added together |

| 1) why is using bldg mat.'s w/ a high mass an effective passive method to mitigate effects of heat gain via solar radiation & air temp? 2) how do you calc sensible heat gain thru infiltration? | 1) b/c mat.'s like masonry, concrete, tile all slow transmission of heat into bldg - absorb heat & store it during the day & release it at night when air temp is cooler 2) sim to calc-ing heat loss - total heat gain is found by multiplying total area by an infiltration factor |
