MIL-HDBK-1003/19
The system parameters F, G, Uc, and [alpha] are listed in Appendix A
for 16 reference sunspace designs. Minor variations from the geometry,
optical properties, and insulation R-values specified in the preceeding
paragraphs will not greatly effect system performance. To maintain high
performance use plenty of thermal storage mass with a high solar
absorptance, light colors on lightweight surfaces, and high R-values on east
and west walls and on insulated common walls. The effect of sunspace
glazing tilt may be included in the performance analysis process as will be
described later. Remember that sunspace analysis is conducted in terms of
the projected area of the solar aperture (Ap) rather than the actual area.
