Savings in electric cooling energy by the use of a whole-house fan. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5694788
Hour-by-hour cooling performances of a typical ranch house, with and without the use of a whole-house fan, were compared for the climate conditions throughout the contiguous United States. The comparative analyses were made by the use of NBSWHF, a modified version of NBSLD, to simulate the complex thermal coupling of whole-house-fan ventilated attic space. The calculations were performed for two operational modes: a cyclic fan mode and a stepwise continuous mode.
