Figure 2.9 shows a schematic view of a building with a single sloped roof and a horizontal roof (dotted line) with dimensions of walls and roofs for Jaipur. In order to determine the total solar radiation on building cover, it is necessary to determine the total solar radiation on each of the walls and roof of the building by using Eq. (2.12). There are four vertical walls and one roof (i = 5). The roof is also made horizontal for some cases, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 2.9. Hence, the total solar radiation on building surfaces can be obtained by using the following expression:
i=5
Total Solar Radiation = AiIi (2.12)
i=1
where Ai and I,- are an area of the ith section, and total solar radiation available on the ith section are shown in Figures 2.10a and b.

In this section, Tsa is a sol air temperature and an expression for this can be written as,
Tsa = I(t) + Ta — for bare surface of wall or roof
ho ho
where a is the absorptivity of the wall or the roof surface, is the ambient air temperature and Ta is the solar radiation on the building surface.
The term eAR represents longwave radiation from the roof or wall surface of the building and its value for a vertical wall is taken as 60 W/m2 and 0 W/m2 for a horizontal roof. The longwave radiation for inclined roof shown in Figure 2.9 is taken as
eAR x cos b
where b = slope of inclined surface = j
ho — hr T hc,
ho — Outside heat transfer coefficient of building hr — Radiative heat transfer coefficient of building hc — Convective heat transfer coefficient of building

The variation of sol air temperature on outside building surfaces are plotted and shown in Figures 2.11. The value of sol air is found to be directly dependent on the solar radiation falling on the outside surface of a building.
