outdoor loads
1- Transmission loads

Walls &roofs:
External walls: walls that are directly exposed to solar radiation.
𝐐 = 𝐔 ∗ 𝐀 ∗ 𝐂𝐋𝐓𝐃𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫
Internal walls (partitions): walls that are not exposed to direct solar
radiation.
𝐐 = 𝐔 ∗ 𝐀 ∗ (𝐓𝐨 − 𝐓𝐢 )
windows:
𝑄𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠=𝐴∗(𝑆.𝐶) ∗ 𝑆𝐻𝐺𝐹𝑚𝑎𝑥∗𝐶𝐿𝐹

 Ventilation loads:

Latent:
Ql = 3010*Q*(Wo-Wi) *Np
Sensible:
Qs = 1.23*Q*(T0-Ti) *Np
Total:
Qt =1.2*Q*(ho-hi)
We get Thermal Transmittance of walls, LM depending on the location and
direction of the wall, SHFG, CLF for the window from ASHRE tables.

Case study

Outdoor Loads: Room name 108.5 DBLM

1) Internal walls: Floor Area 36 m2

𝑄=𝑈∗𝐴∗(𝑇𝑜−𝑇𝑖) Wall exposure 0 m2

𝑄=0.63∗36 ∗ (40−24) =362.9 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡 area
Wall partition 114 m2
area
2) External walls: Np 7

(There are not any external walls)

3) External roof:

The roof as default from HAP we get its U=0.121

R value = 1/U=1/0.121=8.26

Roof number from table (8) is (5) so CLTDmax =33

CLTDcorrected= CLTDmax+(25.5 – Tin) +(To- 29.4)

CLTDcorrected= 44.1

So;

Q=A.U.CLTDcorrected= 36 x 0.121 x 44.1 = 192.1 watt

Indoor Loads:
1) People loads:
a) Sensible load (Qs):
𝑄𝑠=𝑁∗(𝑆𝐻𝐺)∗𝐶𝐿𝐹
𝑄𝑠=7∗80∗1=560 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡

b) Latent load (Ql):
𝑄𝐿=𝑁∗(𝐿𝐻𝐺)
𝑄𝐿=7∗140=980 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡
2) Lightning loads (Qlight):
𝑄𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔= 𝐹𝑢∗𝑊 ∗ 𝐶𝐿𝐹∗𝑅𝑜𝑜𝑓 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎
𝑄𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔=1 ∗702.3 ∗ 0.73=512.7 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡

Equipment loads:
𝑄𝑠 = 𝑆𝐻𝐺 ∗ 𝐶𝐿𝐹
Dry bench lab devices is only computers
Total equipment load =0.83∗ (7∗144) =836.64 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡

Ventilation Load:
a) Sensible load:
𝑄𝑠=1.23∗𝜐. ∗(𝑇𝑜−𝑇𝑖) ∗ 𝑁𝑃
𝑄𝑠=1.23∗ (25∗.47195) ∗ (40−24) ∗7=1625.4 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡.

b) Latent load:
𝑄𝐿=3010∗𝜐. ∗(𝑤𝑜−𝑤𝑖) ∗𝑁𝑃 𝑄𝐿
= 3010∗ (25∗0.47195) ∗ (0.0185−0.009) ∗7=2364.7 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡

Total loads
Qs Tot = ⅀Qs=4089.74 watt = 4.09 KW
Ql Tot = ⅀Ql = 3341.7 watt = 3.35 KW
Q Tot = ⅀ Q = 7.44 KW
