OSTI ID:7131948

Fundamentals of heating and cooling load calculation procedures are described in relation to detailed heat transfer equations among interior surfaces and air in the building. The discussion includes several simplified and approximate procedures such as the Carrier storage load factor method, ASHRAE time averaging technique and weighting factor method. Step by step calculation procedures to determine essential elements of heating and cooling loads such as conduction heat transfer, air infiltration, solar heat gain, heat storage, psychrometric properties of air, and sunlit area of the exterior surfaces are given in view toward assisting an engineer to write his own computer programs.
