COMPUTATION OF SENSIBLE COOLING LOAD FROM INTERNAL HEAT GAINS (FOR THE
WHOLE BUILDING)

Given Data:
• Single Family Residence
• Located at Zambales, Philippines
• Month of May (Hottest month in the Philippines)
• Design dry bulb temperature for the hottest month is 35.3 ⁰C
• DB range for the hottest month is 5.3 ⁰C or 9.64 ⁰F (Low)
• Inside Desired Temperature Condition = 21 ⁰C (69.8 ⁰F)
• Number of Persons in the house = 4 Persons
• Cooling load per person = 230 BTU/hr/person
• Relative humidity desired inside the building = 40 %
• Cooling load of appliances for whole building = 1600 BTU/hr/person

Solution:
q Internal Heat Gain (Whole Building) = (# of occupants)(cooling load per person) +
cooling load of appliances for whole building
