Abstract

This paper examines the effect of the absorption coefficient of a transparent slab, which forms the outer layer of a roof/wall, on such factors as average thermal flux passing/through/a roof/wall, maximum and minimum values of this thermal flux and the thermal load levelling. It is seen that a non-completely transparent slab (non-zero absorption coefficient) performs slightly better than a completely transparent slab (zero absorption coefficient) for small thicknesses, as far as the average thermal flux through a roof/wall is concerned. A non-completely transparent slab with an absorption coefficient greater than 3 m-1 is as effective as a completely transparent slab in introducing thermal load levelling. For both a non-completely transparent slab and a completely transparent slab, maximum, minimum and average values of the thermal flux increase with increasing thickness.
