As the name implies, heating load calculations are carried out to estimate the heat loss from the building in winter so as to arrive at required heating capacities. Normally during winter months the peak heating load occurs before sunrise and the outdoor conditions do not vary significantly throughout the winter season.
• 1. Peak load calculations • Evaluate max. load to size/select equipment • 2. Energy analysis • Calculate energy use and compare design options • 3. Space cooling load Q= Vρcp(tr–ts) • To calculate supply air volume flow rate (V) and size the air system, ducts, terminals • 4. Cooling coil’s load • To size cooling coil and refrigeration system
This approach allows cooling load to be calculated manually by use of simple multiplication factors. CLTD is a theoretical temperature difference that accounts for the combined effects of inside and outside air temp difference, daily temp range, solar radiation and heat storage in the construction assembly/building mass.
In addition, internal heat sources such as occupants or appliances are beneficial as they compensate some of the heat losses. As a result, normally, the heat load calculations are carried out assuming steady state conditions (no solar radiation and steady outdoor conditions) and neglecting internal heat sources.
The total building cooling load consists of heat transferred through the building envelope (walls, roof, floor, windows, doors etc.) and heat generated by occupants, equipment, and lights. The load due to heat transfer through the envelope is called as external load, while all other loads are called as internal loads.
In a cooling load estimate, heat gain from all appliances-electrical, gas, or steam-should be taken into account. Because of the variety of appliances, applications, schedules, use, and installations, estimates can be very subjective. Often, the only information available about heat gain from equipment is that on its name-plate.
