The terrace roof of a building at sea level is planned to have a rectangular floor area with dimensions of 10 m and 20 m. The prevailing wind speed in winter is u∞=25 km/h, and air temperature is assumed to be T∞=0°C. Considering that the outer surface temperature of the building is To=10°C, how should the building be positioned with respect to the prevailing wind direction to minimize the heat loss from the roof?
