Abstract
Computer graphic model based on an existing manual method using computer graphics to determine optimum solar admission and/or exclusion at different seasons of the year. An efficient way of determining some of the glazing related variables is described, thus enabling thermal performance to be considered easily at the early design stage when inexpensive measures of heating and cooling can be advocated and tested.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
