This paper presents the results of an extensive parametric study of the dynamic response of building cooling loads to heat gains. These results are in the form of tables that classify zones in terms of seven of their physical properties and according to their dynamic response characteristics. Weighting factors and other data are also given. The principal application of these results will be to allow calculation of tables of Cooling Load Temperature Differences (CLTDs) and Cooling Load Factors (CLFs) for a small number of representative zones that cover the wide range of zones found in practice. Additionally, they will allow for adjustment to the solar CLFs in the ASHRAE Handbook -1981 Fundamentals to account for carpets, room size, ceiling and exterior wall weight.
