Popis: This article evaluates the impact of effective sky temperatures on building radiation exchange under clear, cloudy, and dusty conditions for extremely hot and dry climates. In part, a dusty sky temperature model has been introduced as a function of atmospheric aerosol optical depth. The sky radiative exchange was evaluated using a one-dimensional transient heat transfer model with numerical calculations performed using the fully implicit finite-difference method. The newly available ASHRAE 2013 clear sky model was evaluated and implemented to calculate the hourly incident solar radiation for a horizontal roof under the extremely hot–dry climate conditions of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results showed that in clear sky conditions, sky longwave radiation contributes to a reduction of the total heat gain. A daily mean clear sky cooling around 2645 and 2385 W-hr/m2 was estimated for July and January, respectively. In contrast, cloud and dust covers increase effective sky temperature and diminish the role of sky rad...
