 I&amp;#39;m running some frequency simulations for areas that contain rooflights. I&amp;#39;ve been asked to advise on how many rooflights should be openable, and by how much, to maintain a comfortable temperature in the space.

For pivoting rooflight openings the Opening Factor should be determined from the window/rooflight opening angle, where the minimum opening angle is 0&amp;deg; and maximum opening angle is 90&amp;deg;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; To calculate your Opening Factor simply divide the maximum opening angle by 90.&lt;br /&gt; In your case:&lt;br /&gt; Opening Factor : 20&amp;deg;/90&amp;deg; = 0.22&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
