1.5 X AVERAGE SOLAR RADIATION  & AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

The situation where the fluid is flowing in the facades but the facades are NOT interconnected, so that there is no "area dilution" ; the area of absorption of energy is the same as the area for loss of energy. Energy is NOT being transferred to or from the storage. The temperature for each facade over the 24 hour day are shown below.

OPPOSITE PAIRS OF FACADES CONNECTED TOGETHER ; E & W, N & S

The situation where the fluid is flowing in the facades but the facades are ONLY interconnected in opposite pairs so that there is some "area dilution " i.e. the area of absorption of energy is  less than the area for losses.  Energy is NOT being transferred to or from the storage Ms. The temperature variations over the 24 hr. day are shown for each facade in the Chart  above:-  Note, the maximum temp. is only 4 deg. above ambient.
