Sol-Air Temperature Calculator

Calculate sol-air temperature: T_sol-air = T_outside + α·I_t/h_o - ε·ΔR/h_o. Combines outdoor temperature with solar radiation and sky radiation effects on building surface. Used in cooling load calculations.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate sol-air temperature: T_sol-air = T_outside + α·I_t/h_o - ε·ΔR/h_o. Combines outdoor temperature with solar radiation and sky radiation effects on building surface. Used in cooling load calculations

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Outdoor temperature — The outdoor temperature recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sol-air temperature result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the outdoor temperature for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate sol-air temperature: T_sol-air = T_outside + α·I_t/h_o - ε·ΔR/h_o. Combines outdoor temperature with solar radiation and sky radiation effects on building surface. Used in cooling load calculations. Use the sol-air temperature result to inform your clinical assessment.
