A dynamic cooling-load program for cooled ceiling systems.

Author(s) : NIU J., KOOI J. van der

Summary

In view of the emerging radiant cooling technologies in the European market, a dynamic building thermal analysis program was enhanced to be able to do cooling-load calculations and annual-energy analysis for rooms with cooled ceiling climate systems. The program was validated against the experimental investigation of the dynamic response of a test room to step heating and step cooling. The validation shows that the program gives good predictions of the dynamic load and temperature responses for both air-ceiling and water-ceiling systems. The paper presents the construction principles of the program and the validation results in the test room.
