DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF THE HEATING LOAD OF OFFICES COUPLED WITH MEASURED OCCUPANCY DISTRIBUTION.

Author(s) : LEVY M., SHITZER A.

Summary

DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF THE HEATING LOAD OF A TOP FLOOR OF OFFICES CONSTRUCTED OF HEAVY MASONRY WALLS WAS ASSUMED TO OPERATE FOR TEN HOURS DAILY AND FOR A VERY COLD DAY IN ISRAEL. AFTER TWO DAYS OF OPERATION THE SYSTEM REACHES A PERIODIC CONDITION. THE LOAD OF THE DAY FOLLOWING THE WEEKEND WAS ABOUT 30% HIGHER THAN THE PERIODIC LOAD. ON A TYPICAL DAY, 75% OF THE LOSSES WERE DUE TO ENERGY STORAGE IN THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS AND ONLY 17% DUE TO CONDUCTION. APPLICATIONOF MINIMAL LAYERS OF INSULATION REDUCED THE HEATING LOAD BY 33-39%. DYNAMIC OCCUPANCY DISTRIBUTIONS INDICATED POSSIBLE REDUCTIONS IN TOTAL HEATING LOAD TO ABOUT 88, 77 AND 62% OF THE CALCULATED VALUES BY USE OF THE UPPER DECILE, UPPER QUARTILE, AND MEAN DISTRIBUTIONS, RESPECTIVELY.
