Equation: Cooling Load, Btu/hr = [Peak solar heat gain, Btu/(hr) (sq ft), (Table 6)]
[Window area, sq ft]
[Shade factor, Haze factor, etc., (Chapter 4)]
[Storage factor, (above Table at desired time)]

Bare glass-Any window with no inside shading device. Windows with shading devices on the outside or shaded by external projections are
considered bare glass.
These factors apply when maintaining a CONSTANT TEMPERATURE in the space during the operating period. Where the temperature is
allowed to swing, additional storage will result during peak load periods. Refer to Table 13 for applicable storage factors.
Weight per sq ft of floor- (Weight of Outside Walls, lb) + (Weight of Partitions, Floor and Ceiling, lb)
Room on Bldg Exterior (One or more outside walls) =
Floor Area in Room, sq ft
(Weight of Partitions, Floor and Ceiling, lb)
Room in Bldg Interior (No outside walls) =
Floor Area in Room, sq ft
(Weight of Outside Walls, lb) + (Weight of Floor, lb) + (Weight of Partitions and Ceiling, lb)
Basement Room (Floor on ground) =
Floor Area in Room, sq ft
(Weight of Outside Wall, Partitons, Floors, Ceilings, Structural Members and Supports,lb)
Entire Building or Zone =
Air Conditioned Floor Area, sq ft

With rug on floor-Weight of floor should be multiplied by 0.50 to compensate for insulating effect of rug.
Weights per sq ft of common types of construction are contained in Tables 21 thru 33, pages 66 thru 76.
