[Bldg-sim] Fw: exterior convection coefficient for tilted roof

Hi Chris,

CIBSE suggest to replace g with gcos(theta) in the Grasshof number. That
means, it accounts for the roof being tilted in natural convection. When it
comes to roofs, there is another aspects that starts to be important ...
the roof finishing in tiles will have a 'detoriated' velocity underneath
the tiles. It is mainly that one directing the convective losses ...

Am I correct on this?

Leen
