The formula to calculate the Effective Roof Area (A_e) is:
\[ \text{A_e} = \text{A_p} + (0.5 \times \text{H} \times \text{P}) \]
Where:
The effective roof area is a measure used in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and construction to determine the area of a roof that effectively contributes to certain calculations, like rainwater harvesting or load distribution. It takes into account not only the plan area of the roof but also the influence of the walls and the perimeter of the roof. This measure is crucial for accurately assessing the performance and requirements of roofing systems.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{A_e} = 200 + (0.5 \times 10 \times 60) = 200 + 300 = 500 \]
The Effective Roof Area (A_e) is 500 sq. units.
