Methods and strategy for modeling daily global solar radiation with measured meteorological data – A case study in Nanchang station, China
TL;DR: In this paper, Chen et al. proposed a strategy for selecting an optimal method for calculating missing daily values of global solar radiation: (1) when sunshine hour and temperature data are available, use Chen model 2; (2) when only sunshine hour data were used, use Bahel model; (3) when temperature, total precipitation and dew point data were available but not sunshine hours, use Wu model 2, when only temperature and total precipitation were available, using Wu model 1; and (4) When only temperature data were not available, and (5) when

Solar heating and night radiation cooling by a Roof Radiation Trap
TL;DR: In this paper, a new system, the Roof Radiation Trap, which utilizes solar energy for heating of buildings in winter and nocturnal radiation for cooling in summer, is described, which consists of fixed insulating layer separated from the flat roof and glazing, protected by hinged insulating panel, in the southern gap between the roof and the fixed insulation.
