GENERALIZED HEATING AND COOLING LOAD MODELS FOR SEASONAL PERFORMANCE CALCULATION.

Summary

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY IS TO IMPROVE THE SEASONAL PERFORMANCE MODELS LOAD MODELING TECHNIQUE IN ORDER TO ESTIMATE A MORE REALISTIC LOAD FOR SEASONAL ANALYSIS CALCULATIONS. THE MODEL DEVELOPED WAS TESTED FOR THREE DIFFERENT CLIMATIC REGIONS. WHEN THE MODEL WAS COMPARED WITH AN HOURLY COMPUTER SIMULATION PROGRAM, THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE IN TOTAL COOLING AND HEATING LOAD, RELATIVE TO THE HOURLY SIMULATION TECHNIQUE, WAS LESS THAN 1% FOR COOLING AND 2% FOR HEATING FOR AN AVERAGE US CLIMATE.
