Cooling load calculation of a single family house using CLTD/GLF method

Floor Plan of the Single Family House

Example House Characteristics

Roof construction Conventionel roof-attic-ceiling combination Wall construction Brick, insulation, gypsum wallboard Partition wall Doors Wood, solid core Windows Clear double-pane glass in wood frames 3 mm thick. U = 2.84 W/(m2K) The window glass has a 600 mm overhang at the top. Assume closed, medium-color venetian blinds. U = 0.28 W/(m2K)

U = 0.34 W/(m2K) U = 0.4 W/(m2K)

U = 1.82 W/(m2K)

Outdoor design conditions Temperature of 36 C dry bulb with a 13 K daily ran ge Humidity ratio is 0.0136 kg vapour/kg dry air (23.7 C wet bulb)

Indoor design conditions Temperature of 24 C dry bulb Relative humidity ratio is 50% Occupancy Four people Appliances and lights 470 W for the kitchen and 50% in the living room Find the sensible, latent and total cooling load.

Solution
The cooling load must be made on a room-by-room basis to determine the proper distribution of air. For walls, roof and door

& = A U (CLTD) [ W ] Q
where CLTD Cooling Load Temperature Difference, K ASHRAE Fundamentals 2001, Ch. 28, Table 1 and 2 according to orientation outdoor design temperature daily temperature range

Solution
For windows

& = A (GLF) ((SC)) [ W ] Q

where GLF Glass Load Factor, K ASHRAE Fundamentals 2001, Ch. 28, Table 3 and 4 according to window orientation type of glass type of interior shading outdoor design temperature.
