Cooling Load Example Design Problem

A school classroom is 6 m long, 6 m wide and 3 m high. There is a 2.5 m x 4 m window

in the east wall. Only the east wall/window is exterior. Assume the thermal conditions
in adjacent spaces (west, south, north, above and below) are the same as those of the
classroom. Determine the cooling load at 9:00 am, 12:00 noon during Summer
Season.
Other known conditions include:
Overall window heat transmission coefficient = 7.0 W/m2K
Room dry-bulb temperature = 24°C
Permissible temperature exceeded = 2.5%
Schedule of occupancy: 20 people enter at 8:00 am and stay for 8 hours
Lighting schedule: 300 Watts (switch on) at 8:00 AM for 8 hours
Exterior wall structure:
• Outside surface,………………A0
• Face brick (100 mm),……….. A2
• Insulation (50 mm),…………..B3
• Concrete block (100 mm),…. C3
• Inside surface,……………….. E0
Exterior window:
• Single glazing, 3 mm
• No exterior shading, SC = 1.0
