COOLING HEAT GAINS FROM PARTIALLY SHADED WALLS.

Author(s) : BRAGANCA L., MALDONADO E.

Summary

CORRECT SIZING OF HVAC SYSTEMS DEPENDS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF ACCURATE YET SIMPLE METHODS FOR CALCULATION OF HEAT GAINS THROUGH THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE ENVELOPE. ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN METHODS FOR CALCULATING HEAT GAINS THROUGH THE EVELOPE IS THE CLTD (COOLING LOAD TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES) ASHRAE METHOD. HEAT GAINS FROM SUNLIT WALLS CAN BE READILY CALCULATED, BUT WHEN THE WALL IS TOTALLY OR PARTIALLY SHADED, THE RESULTS FROM TABLED VALUES ARE NOT ACCURATE. THE PAPER PRESENTS A CLTD-COMPATIBLE METHOD FOR CALCULATING HEAT GAINS FROM TOTALLY ORPARTIALLY SUNLIT WALLS FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF SHADING. AN APPLICATION EXAMPLE IS GIVEN FOR ONE WEST FACING WALL.
