Cooling Load Calculation Method(s) - ANS-Total Equivilent Temperature Difference
(TETD) - Average loads calculated for a number of hours
Transfer Function Method (1972) - Added weighted factors to various exterior opaque
surfaces, and weighting factors to account for thermal storage affect in converting heat
gain to cooling load
CLTD/SCL/CLF Method (1975) - Generated CLTD from data obtained using TFM
Radiant Time Series Method (RTS) - (ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamental 2009)
Cyclical Variation (< 15 Minutes) - ANS-Refers to those situations where the operative
temperature repeatedly rises and falls, and the period of those variations is not greater
than 15 minutes. Allowable peak to peak 2.0 F
Define: Thermal Comfort - ANS-The condition of the mind which expresses satisfaction
with the thermal environment
Do we design for when the occupancy is less than 15 minutes - ANS-No
Drifts and Ramps (> 15 Minutes) - ANS-Temperature drifts and ramps are monotonic,
noncyclical change in operative temperature
External Cooling Load Formula - ANS-q(dot) = U * A * CLTD
CLTD - Cooling Load Temperature Differences
U - design heat transfer coefficient [Btu/(hr* sf*°F)
Find Mixed Air Temperature - ANS-T_MA = (T_RA x %RA) + (T_OA x %OA)
Example from class:
T_MA = (75 x .62) + (88 x .38) = 80 F
Floor Surface Temperature - ANS-Occupant may feel uncomfortable due to contact with
floor surfaces that are too warm or too cool 66.2- 84.2 F
Formula for Operative Temperature - ANS-T_op = A * T_a + (1-A) * T_r
T_op = Operative Temperature
T_a = Air Temperature
T_r = Mean Radiant Temperature
Four Related Heat Flow Rates - ANS-Space heat gain
Space cooling load
