Author(s) : KOHLOSS F. H.

Summary

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN TROPICAL CLIMATE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS REQUIRES CONSIDERATION OF BUILDING ENVELOPE ECONOMICS AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESIGN WITH DIFFERENT WEIGHTING FACTORS THAN THOSE USUALLY APPLIED TO TEMPERATE ZONE SYSTEMS. ENERGY ESTIMATING METHODS WIDELY USED IN TEMPERATE ZONES, BASED ON CORRELATIONS OF OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND LOAD, ARE NOT APPLICABLE IN THE TROPICS. AN EXAMPLE OF ONE APROACH IS PRESENTED.
