Because these cyclic changes in Toad components often are not in phase with each other, each compo- nent must be analyzed to establish the maximum cooling load fora building or one. A zoned system (i. one serving several indepen- ‘dentareas, each with ts own temperature control) needs to provide no [greater toll cooling load capacity than the largest hourly sum of Simultaneous zone loads throughout a design day: however, t must, handle the peak cooling load foreach zone atts individual peak how. {Ar some times of day during heating or intermediate seasons, some ‘zones may requie heating while others requite cooling, The zones" ‘ventilation, humidification, or dchumidifiation needs must also be considered ‘Heat Flow Rates 1s air-conditioning design, the following four elated beat flow rates, each of which varies with ime, must be differentiated ‘Space Heat Galn. Tis instantancous rate of heat gain isthe rate avwhich heat enters into andor generated withina space. Heat gain, is classified by its mode of entry into the space and whether itis sen- sible of latent. Entry modes include (1) solar radiation trough trans ‘parent surfaces; (2)heat conduction through exterior walls and roofs, (3) heat conduction through cetings, floors, and interior partion, (4) beat generated inthe space by occupants, lights, and appliances; (5) energy transfer through ditect with-space ventilation and infiltra tion of outdoor ar; and (6) miscellaneous hat gains. Sensible heat is added directly to the conditioned space by conduction, convection, andlor radiation. Latent heat gain occurs When moisture is added to the space (e-2.,from vapor emited by occupants and equipment). To ‘maintain a constant humidity rato, water vapor must condense on the cooling apparatus and be removed atthe same rate it is added to the space. The amount of energy required to offset latent heat gain essen- tally equals the product ofthe condensation rate and latent heat of condensation. In selecting cooling equipment, distinguish between Sensible and latent heat gain: every cooling apparatus has different, ‘maximum removal capacities for sensible versus latent heat for par- ticular operating conditions, tn extremely dry climates, humidifica- tion may be required, rather than debumidification, to maintain, ‘thermal comfort “Radiont Heat Gain, Radiant energy must fist be absorbed by sur- faces that enclose the space (walls flor, and ceiling) and objets in the space (furniture ee). When these surfaces and objects become \warmer than the surrounding ar, some oftheir heat ranfers tothe ait by convection, The composite heat storage capacity ofthese surfaces and objects determines the mate at which their respective surface temperatures inetease fora given radiant input, and thus govems the relationship between the radiant portion of heat ain and its corre sponding part ofthe space cooling load (Figute 1). The thermal stor- age effet is critical in differentiating between instantaneous heat ‘gin fora given space ands cooling load t that moment.

Space Cooling Load. This isthe ate at which sensible and atent heat must be removed from the space to maintain a constant space air temperature and humidity: The sum of all space instantancous heat gains at any given time does not necessarily (or even fie= ‘quently equal the cooling load forthe space at that same time.

Therefore, proper simulation ofthe contol system gives ‘a more realistic value of energy removal over a fixed period than using values ofthe space cooling load.

Methods presented inthis chapter are expressed as hourly load summaries, reflecting 24 h input schedules and profiles of the individual load variables. Specific systems and applications may require different profiles. DATA ASSEMBLY Calculating space cooling loads requires detailed building design {information and weather data at design conditions. Generally, the following information should be compile. Building Characteristis. Building materials, component size, external surfice colors, and shape are usually determined from building plans and specifications. Configuration, Determine building location, orientation, and ‘external shading from building pians and specifications. Shadi from adjacent buildings can be determined from a site plan or by visiting the proposed site, bu its probable permanence should be carefully evaluated before itis included inthe calculation, The pos- sibility of abnormally high ground-tffected solar radiation (e.g. ‘rom adjacent wate, sand, or parking lots) or solar load from adj cent reflective buildings should not be overlooked, Outdoor Design Conditions. Obtain appropriate weather dat, and select outdoor design conditions. Chapter 14 provides inform tion for many weather stations; note, however, tht these design clry-bulb and mean coincident wet-bulb temperatures may vary considerably from data traditionally used in various arcas. Use jjudgment to ensure that results are consistent with expectations ‘Also, consider prevailing wind velocity and the relationship of a project site to the selected weather station. Recent research projects have greatly expanded dhe amount of available weather data (e.2., ASHRAE 2012). Inadditon othe cox- ventional dry bulb with mean coincident wet bulb, data are now available for wet bulb and dew point wth mean coincident dry bub. Peak space load generally eoincides with peak solar or peak dey ‘bulb, but peak system load often occurs at peak wet-bulb tempera ture. The relationship between space and system loads is discussed further in following sections ofthe chapter. “To estimate conductive heat gain through exterior surfaces and {nfltration and outdoor air loads a anytime, applicable outdoor dry ‘and wet-bu temperatures must be used.

Measure flor areas to the ouside of adjacent exterior walls or to the centerline of adjacent partitions. When apportioning to rooms, fagade area should be divided at patton center lines. Wal height shouldbe taken as floo-t-flor height “The outer-dimension procedure is expedient for load calculations, but itis not consistent with rigorous definitions used in building related standards. The resulting differences do not introduce signifi- ‘ant ermore in this chapter's presets. Fenestration area.

Because ofthe Variety of appliances, applications, schedules, use, and installations estimates can be very subjective. Often, the only information available about ‘beat gain from equipment is that on its aameplete, which can over estimate actual heat gain for many types of appliances, as diseussed in the seetion on Office Equipment. Cooking Appliances tmese appliances include common neat-prodveing cooking ‘equipment found in conditioned commercial kitchens, Marn (1962) concluded that appliance surfaces contributed most ofthe heat to ‘commercial kitchens and tht when appliances were installed under an effective hood, the cooling load was independent of th fuel ot ‘energy used for similar equipment performing the same operations, Gordon tal, (1994) and Stith eta, (1995) found tat gas appi- ‘ances may exhibit slightly higher heat gains than their electiccoun- terparts under wall-canopy hoods operated at typical ventilation rates, This is because heat contained in combustion products es- hhausted from a gas appliance may increase the temperatures ofthe appliance and surrounding surfaces, 2s well asthe hood above the 2>- pliance, more so than the het produced by is electric counterpart ‘These higher-temperatue surfaces radiate heat tothe kitchen, adding ‘moderately tothe radiant gain directly associated withthe apliance ‘cooking eurfies. Mam (1962) confirmed that, where appliances are installed under an effective hood, only mdiant gain adds to the cooling load; ‘convective and latent heat from cooking and combustion products are exhausted and donot enter the kitchen, Gordon etal, (1994) and Smith etal (1998) substantiated these findings. Chapter 33 ofthe 2011 ASHRAE Handbook HVAC Applications has more informa- tion on kitchen ventilation, Sensible Heat Gain for Hooded Cooking A ppliances. To establish a heat gain value, nameplate energy input ratings may be used with eppropriate usage and radiation factors. Where specific rating data are not available (nameplate missing, equipment not et purchased, et.), representative heat gas listed in Tables SA to E (Swierezyna etal. 2008, 2009) for a wide variety of commonly {encountered equipment ites. In estimating appliance load, proba- bilities of simultaneous use and operation for diferent appliances located inthe same space must be considered. Radiant heat gain from hooded cooking equipment can range {rom 15 to 45% of the actual appliance energy consumption (Gor- dn etal, 1994; Smith et al, 199; Swierczyna etal. 2008; Talbert tal. 1973). Thisratio of heat gain to appliance enerzy consumption ‘may be expressed asa radiation factor, and itis a funetion of both appliance type and fuel source. The radiation factor F is applied to the average rte of appliance energy consumption, determined by applying usage factor F, to the nameplate oF rated enerzy input, ‘Mam (1962) found that radiant heat temperature rise can be su stantially reduced by shielding the fonts of cooking appliances. Although tis approach may not always be practical in a commer- ial kitchen radiant gains can also be reduced by adding side panels ‘or partial enclosures that are integrated with dhe exhaust hood.

The average rate of appli ance eneray consumption can be estimated from the nameplate or rated energy inptt dana by appiying a duty eyele or usage factor Fi. ‘Thus, sensible hea gin g, for generic electric, steam, and gas appli ances installed under a hood can be estimated using one ofthe fol= Towing equations 96 Gap Fut 0 a Ing o ‘where Fis the ratio of sensible heat gain to the manufacturer's ‘ated eneruy input. However, recent ASHRAE research (Swiere- 2zyna etal. 2008, 2609) showed the design value for heat gui from ‘hooded appliance at idle (ready-to-cook) conditions based on its ‘energy consumption rate is, at best, a rough estimate. When appli- lance eet gain monouromonts during idle conditions wors regremed ‘against energy consumption rates for gas and eletrc appliances, the appliances’ emissivity, insulation, and surface cooling (eg. ‘through ventilation rates) scattered the data points widely, with large deviations from the average values. Because large errors could ‘occur in the heat load calculation for specific appliance lines by using a general radiation factor, heat gain value in Table S should ‘be applied in the FIVAC design. Table 5 lists usage factors, radiation factors, and load factors ‘based on appliance energy consumption rate for typical electrical steam, and gas appliances under standby or ide conditions, hooded. and unhooded. Recirculating Systems. Cooking appliances ventilated by rece ‘culating systems or “ductless" hoods should be treated as unhooded appliances when estimating heat gain. In other words, all energy ‘consumed by the appliance and all moisture produced by cooking is introduced to the kitchen asa seasible or latent cooling load. Recommended Heat Gain Values. Table 5 iss recommended rates of heat gun fom typical commercial cooking appliances. Data inthe “hooded” columns assume installation under a properly de- signed exhaust hood connected to.a mechanic fan exhaust system ‘operating at an exhaust rate for complete capture and containment ofthe thermal and effluent plume.

Care is needed in evaluating the probability and duration of simultaneous usage ‘when many components are concentrated in one area such as a lab ‘oratory, an operating room, ete.

(1991), Komor (1997) found similar results. Analysis of measured data showed that results for ‘office equipment could be generalized, but results from laboratory and hospital equipment proved too diverse. The following general ‘guidelines for office equipment are a result ofthese sts. Nameplate Versus Measured Energy Use. Nameplate data rarely reflect the actual power consumption of office equipment. 2013 ASHRAE Handbook— Fundamentals (SI) Acual power consumption is assumed to equal total (radian plus convective) heat gain, but its ratio to the nameplate value varies widely. ASHRAE research project RP-1055 (Hosni et al. 1999) found that, for general office equipment with nameplate power con- ‘sumption of Tess than 1000 W, the actual ratio of total heat gain to ‘nameplate ranged from 25% to 50%, but when all tested equipment is considered, the range is broader. Generally, ifthe nameplate value iste only information known and no actual heat gain data are avail- able for similar equipment, it is conservative to use $0% of name- plat as heat gain and more nearly correct if 25% of nameplate is ‘used. Much better results can be obtained, however, by considering Inet gain to be predictable based on the type of equipment. How= ‘ever, ifthe device has a mainly esstve internal electric load (eg, space heater), the nameplate rating may be a good estimate of is peck energy dissipation. Computers. Based on tess by Hosni etal (1999) and Wilkins and MeGaffin (1994), nameplate values on computers should be ignored when performing ceoling load calculations. Table ® pre ‘ents typical heat gain valcs for computers with varying degrees of safety factor, Monitors. Based on monitors tested by Hosni etal. (1999), heat ‘stn for cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors corelates approximately ‘wi sereen size as non = 0.2520 o whore “on ~ Seasibe heat gain fom monitor, W "3 = nominal screen size, mm Table 8 shows typical values. Flat-panel monitors have replaced CRT monitors in many work places, Power consumption, and thus heat gain, for Ma-panel dis plays are significantly lower than for CRT. Consult manufacturers fect or average power consumption dn for wen fe gan calculations. Laser Printers. Hosni et al. (1999) found that power consump- tion, and therefore the heat gain, of laser printers depended largely fon the level of throughput for which the printer was designed, ‘Smaller printers tend to be used more intermittently, and larger printers may run continuously for longer periods. Table 9 presents data on laser printers. These data canbe applied bby taking the value for continuous operation and then applying an appropriate diversity factor. This would likely be most appropriate forlarger open office areas. Another approach, which may be ap- propriate fora single room or small area, i to take the value that set lowly matches the expected operon ofthe pene with 0 versity. Copiers. Hosni et al. (1999) also tested five photocopy ‘machines, including desktop and office (freestanding high-volume copiers) models. Larger machines used in production environments ‘were not addressed, Table 9 summarizes the results. Desktop copi- cersrarely operate continuously, but offic copiers frequently operate outinuousy for periods of an hour or more. Large, high-volume ‘photocopiers often include provisions for exhausting air outdoors if 0 equipped, the direct-to-space or system makeup air heat gain needs to e included inthe foad calculation, Also, when the air is dry, humidifier are often operated near copiers to limit static elec tricity, if this oceus during cooling mode, ther load on HVAC sys- tems should be considered. ‘Miscellaneous Office Equipment.

Chapters 25 to 27 cover principles, ‘materials, and specific methods used to contro! moisture. Moisture transfer through walls and roofs is often neglected in comfort air conditioning because the actual rate is quite small and the corre- sponding latent heat gain is insignificant. Permeability and per ‘meance values for various building materials are given in Chapter 26. Vapor retarders should be specified and installed in the proper location to keep moisture transfer to @ minimum, and to minimize ‘condensation within the envelope, Moisture migration up through “Tis leis eens to Gaye Kanal (g 18.14 slabs-on-grade and basement floors has been found to be signif ‘cant, but has historically not been addressed in cooling load calou- Jations, Under-slab continuous moisture retarders and drainage can ‘reduce upward moisture flow. ‘Some industrial applications require low moisture to be maine ‘ined in a conditioned space.

However, system loads associated with ventilation air required to make up exhaust air must be recognized, and any ‘escalated at's moisture must be considered when sizing the
