Abstract:This paper presents the results of measuring global solar irradiation in horizontal and vertical surfaces North, South, East and West with the aim to determine the energy loads in which buildings are subjected to in Mexico city, in order to provide the necessary information firstly, for planning and design of new buildings and secondly, for cost benefit analysis in the adaptation of already built structures. Solar irradiation on vertical surfaces plays a major role to determine thermal and energy performance o… Show more
