In order to vary the angle of incidence of the radiation on the test specimen, the test box was pivoted about its bottom edge. During the indoor tests, the magnitude of the insolation was measured at discrete angles of incidence with the solarimeters in the test box. 'Incident' radiation levels were measured with the same solarimeters with no cover on the open face of the box. Results for a 'Clean" Material t d t d Figures 2 to 5 show a particular representative example of data for a clean material.

The t e c h n i q u e would benefit from further refinement and development. The Hot Plate m e a s u r e m e n t s were made at t e m p e r a t u r e s more in line with the ASHRAE Summer Standard c o n d i t i o n s , than the winter c o n d i t i o n s under which the other tests were c o n d u c t e d , and which were used to drive the m o d e l s . This could explain the d i s c r e p a n c y between some of the Hot Plate m e a s u r e m e n t s and the other a s s e s s m e n t s . The Hot Plate e q u i p m e n t is fairly low cost and simple in c o m p a r i s o n with the M o W i T T , but does seem to give r e a s o n a b l e a s s e s s m e n t s for even the advanced glazing systems under i n v e s t i g a t i o n h e r e ; the triple glazed unit being the only system not reasonably e v a l u a t e d .
