Author(s) : BURCH D. M., FANNEY A. H., LICITRA B. A.

Summary

COOLING LOAD PREDICTIONS ARE COMPARED TO RESULTS OBTAINED USIN G THE DETAILED THERMAL ANALYSIS RESEARCH PROGRAM (TARP), A SOPHISTICATED COMPUTER MODEL DEVELOPED AT THE NBS. WEEKLY SENSIBLE COOLING LOADS, PREDICTED BY THE SIMPLIFIED MODEL, AGREED TO WITHIN 3% OF THE VALUES PREDICTED BY TARP. THE INVESTIGATION DESCRIBED IN THE PAPER REVEALS THAT THE EFFECT OF THERMAL MASS COULD NOT BE INCORPORATED WITHIN A SIMPLIFIED MODEL DUE TO COMPLEX INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE OF A BUILDING, FURNISHINGS WITHIN THE BUILDING, AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.
