Caption:
This animation shows the passive
loading of a building using short wave solar energy.
Electromagnetic energy is absorbed and converted into heat
energy where it conducted to the underlying mass and
released it to the space as re-radiated (emitted ) as long
wave radiant energy
and convective currents.
