Hi,,, I kinda had a confusion where the 1.6 value came from,, is it that the width of the three windows where 1.6 each?

[@great9640]

Thankyou very much for this calculation

[@gilbert22ification]

thanks for this video, however I have a couple of questions in regards to your calculations: - why the back wall (to access entrance and storeroom) is not included in the wall calculation area? - why the visible sky angle does not take into account by the presence of multiple windows? (- should the "window area" be 3(1.2x0.9) ?)

Apologies I don't look at comments normally as these resources are for my students. I understand your query completely and agree you and a computer programme would be far more advanced but I have to start with the simple calculation to start my students off on the concept and will miss out on elements for speed of delivery. I'm not a published author but if I ever decide to take my work further I will ensure to add your concerns.
