For these three levels the fractiles were calculated for following probabilities:
R = 1 year, Psafe = 1-1/30 = 0,966667
R = 2 weeks, Psafe = 1-1/4.67 = 0,785867
R = 6 days, Psafe = 0,5
infrequent value TM1, frequent value TM1, and quasi-permanent value TM2
can be obtained
Mean values :
The daily maximum of shade air temperature 24.57C
The daily minimum of shade air temperature 12.77C
The time at which the maximum value occurs 15 oclock
The time at which the minimum value occurs 4 oclock
The time of sunrise 4 oclock
The duration of the solar day 16 hours
Characteristic values:

Where both linear and non-linear vertical temperature differences are used
TM should be replaced by T which includes TM and TE
- thermal actions from climatic effects due to the variation of shade air
temperature and solar radiation
- effects arising from interaction between the structure and its contents during
thermal changes
where:
Tin is the air temperature of the inner environment
Tout is the temperature of the outer environment
Rtot is the total thermal resistance of the element including resistance of
both surfaces
R( x) is the thermal resistance at the inner surface and of the element from
the inner surface up to the point x (see Figure D.1).
where:
Rin thermal resistance at the inner surface [m2K/W],
Rout thermal resistance at the outer surface [m2K/W],
i thermal conductivity and hi [m] is the thickness of the layer i [W/(mK)]
