Analysis of a New Index for the Thermal Performance of Horizontal Opaque Building Components in Summer

The summer behavior of an opaque building component subjected to the solar cycle depends on the combination of its thermal insulation, inertia, and solar reflectance. To rate the component dynamic behavior while an air conditioning system ensures a steady indoor temperature, a ‘solar transmittance i...
