I was doing shoe box study with rectangle plan for 4 floors.
I set same window to wall ratio(40%) and same window setting without any shading and surrounding building which affect to window heat gain.
However when I check the result, higher floor get more heat gain compared to lower floor.
I wonder are there any factor which affect to heat gain from window other than following parameter. Could anyone help?
- Window Area
- Window Specification (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient)
- Shading
Result (Higher floor got more heat gain from window)
Window Input Information
