McFarland, R. D.; Lazarus, G. S.

A procedure to estimate monthly auxiliary sensible and latent cooling is detailed. This procedure includes the effects of internal heat generation; infiltration and ventilation; solar radiation absorbed on the outside of the building and solar radiation transmitted through glazings; and heat gains (or losses) through massive walls, glazings, and perimeters caused by outside/inside temperature differences. The effects of day/night room air temperature swings in massive buildings are also included. In addition to sensible and latent cooling requirements, the monthly average daytime and nighttime room air temperatures are calculated. 8 refs., 19 figs., 4 tabs.
