Question
### Calculating Total Glass Area on the East & West Sides of a Room

#### Problem Statement:
Determine the total glass area on the East and West sides of the given house drawing.

#### Parameters:
1. **Wall Height**: 11 feet (for all rooms)
2. **Rounding Instructions**:
   - **U Factor**: Round to 3 decimal places when calculating heat gain and loss.
   - **Heating Transfer Multiplier (HTM)**: Round to two decimal places.
   - **General Rounding**: Round off surface area calculations to the nearest whole number.

#### Provided House Drawing:
The house layout includes six rooms with the following dimensions:

- **Room 1**:
  - Dimensions: 30' x 18'
  - Glass: East Side (Window: 5'0" x 6'0")

- **Room 2**:
  - Dimensions: 18' x 14'
  - Glass: West Side (Window: 5'0" x 6'0")

- **Room 3**:
  - Dimensions: 10' x 8'
  - No windows mentioned.

- **Room 4**:
  - Dimensions: 22' x 16'
  - Glass: East Side (Window: 5'0" x 6'0")

- **Room 5**:
  - Dimensions: 26' x 20'
  - No windows mentioned.

- **Room 6**:
  - Dimensions: 8' x 8'
  - No windows mentioned.

#### Calculation:
To calculate the total glass area on the East & West sides:

1. **East Side of Room 1:**
   - Glass Area: 5'0" x 6'0" => 5 x 6 = 30 sq. ft.
   
2. **East Side of Room 4:**
   - Glass Area: 5'0" x 6'0" => 5 x 6 = 30 sq. ft.

3. **West Side of Room 2:**
   - Glass Area: 5'0" x 6'0" => 5 x 6 = 30 sq. ft.

Total glass area calculation:
- East Side (Room 1 & Room 4): 
  - 30 sq. ft. (Room 1) + 30 sq. ft. (Room
