Determine the overall conductance of the roof. b. Use the thermal network approach to represent the transient response. Assume that all of the thermal storage is in the concrete and that the other roof elements have only a thermal resistance. Verify that the capacitance of the steel joists is negligible. c. Determine and plot the heat gain as a function of time over the course of the day d. Discuss how the HVAC system design is affected by energy storage in the concrete.
