AN ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC PROPERTIES OF THE COOLING LOAD IN AN INTERMITTENTLY AIR-CONDITIONED BUILDING.

Author(s) : HOKOI S., NIWA K., MATSUMOTO M.

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE USE OF A BUILDING THERMAL ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY IN WHICH THE STOCHASTIC NATURE OF THE EXTERNAL CLIMATES IS CONSIDERED. THIS METHOD PROVIDES A RATIONAL AND CONVENIENT WAY OF HANDLING UNCERTAINTY IN THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF THE THERMAL SYSTEM. A SET OF STOCHASTIC DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS IS USED TO MODEL THE THERMAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE BUILDING, WHICH PROVIDES THE MEANS AND STANDARD DEVIATIONS OF THE ROOM AIR TEMPERATURE AND COOLING LOAD. THIS METHOD IS APPLIED TO A SMALL-SCALE PROBLEM FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSES.
