Computation of solar radiation heat gain in analysing energy efficient operation of an air-conditioning system

In any building, air-conditioning system is essential to maintain thermal comfort of the occupants as well as ensuring their optimum productivity. However, the electricityconsumption by air conditioning alone is more than 50% from the total electricityconsumption. Hence it must be designed carefully...
