This document provides a table and equation for calculating heat storage and cooling loads from solar heat gain through windows. The table lists storage load factors that account for heat absorption and release by building materials over time, based on building construction weight and sun exposure. The described equation can be used to calculate hourly cooling loads by multiplying peak solar heat gain by window area, shading factors, and the appropriate storage load factor from the table.
