AN ECONOMIC PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE THERMAL DESIGN OF A LARGE OFFICE BUILDING UNDER DIFFERENT CLIMATIC ZONES AND DIFFERENT BILLING SCHEDULES.

Author(s) : JOHNSON C. A., BESANT R. W., SCHOENAU G. J.

Summary

THERMAL SYSTEMS INVESTIGATED CONSIST OF BUILDING ENVELOPE CONSTRUCTION ; HEATING, VENTILATING, AND AIR-CONDITIONING (HVAC) OPERATING STRATEGIES ; AND SECONDARY AND PRIMARY HVAC EQUIPMENT. THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IS INVESTIGATED BY ANALYZING BUILDING PERFORMANCE AT 4 REPRESENTATIVE LOCATIONS. TO PROVIDE A RANGE OF TYPICAL ENERGY COSTS, 4 DIFFERENT UTILITY RATE STRUCTURES ARE USED IN THE ECONOMIC EVALUATION FOR EACH OF THE LOCATIONS. A SIMPLE LINEAR EQUATION FOR THE BUILDING THERMAL DESIGN LIFE-CYCLE COST AS A FUNCTION OF THE CONTINUOUS PARAMETERS IS ANALYZED.
