A SIMPLIFIED HOUR-BY-HOUR BUILDING ENERGY ANALYSIS FOR USE IN ENGINEERING HVAC COURSES.

Author(s) : MURPHY W.

Summary

THE PAPER OUTLINES A SIMPLIFIED, HOUR-BY-HOUR, SINGLE-ZONE ENERGY ANALYSIS THAT INCORPORATES MANY OF THE MAJOR FEATURES OF MORE COMPLEX PROGRAMS AND YET CAN BE PERFORMED ON THE MORE POWERFUL MICROCOMPUTERS THAT ARE OFTEN AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS. WHILE THE SIMPLICITY OF THE PROGRAM PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED SERIOUSLY ON A COMMERCIAL BASIS, IT DOES ILLUSTRATE THERMAL LAG EFFECTS, THE DOMINANCE OF SOLAR RADIATION ON COOLING LOADS, AND THE IMPACT OF OUTDOOR AIR CONDITIONS ON TOTAL EQUIPMTA. THIS PROGRAM CAN EASILY ILLUSTRATE THE IMPACT OF GLAZING, INSULATION, INFILTRATION, AND OUTDOOR AIR MAKEUP ON WEEKLY COOLING COSTS.
