  2. Cooling load temperature difference calculation method

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load_temperature...

    The equations for the use of the data retrieved from these tables are very simple. Q= heat gain, usually heat gain per unit time. A= surface area. U= Overall heat transfer coefficient. CLTD= cooling load temperature difference. SCL= solar cooling load factor. CLF= cooling load factor. SC= shading coefficient.

  3. Sol-air temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol-air_temperature

    Sol-air temperature (Tsol-air) is a variable used to calculate cooling load of a building and determine the total heat gain through exterior surfaces. It is an improvement over: Where: The above equation only takes into account the temperature differences and ignores two important parameters, being 1) solar radiative flux; and 2) infrared ...

  4. Radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

    Radiative cooling. In the study of heat transfer, radiative cooling[1][2] is the process by which a body loses heat by thermal radiation. As Planck's law describes, every physical body spontaneously and continuously emits electromagnetic radiation.

  5. Building insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

    By installing insulation, buildings use less energy for heating and cooling and occupants experience less thermal variability. Retrofitting buildings with further insulation is an important climate change mitigation tactic, [1][2] especially when buildings are heated by oil, natural gas, or coal-based electricity.

  6. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    R. -value (insulation) The R-value (in K ⋅ m 2/ W) is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3] R-value is the temperature difference per unit of heat flux needed to sustain one unit of ...

  7. Mean radiant temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_radiant_temperature

    This is done with effective design of the building, interior and with the use of high temperature radiant cooling and low temperature radiant heating. [8] In outdoor settings, mean radiant temperature is affected by air temperature but also by the radiation of absorbed heat from the materials used in sidewalks, streets, and buildings.

  8. Cooling load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load

    The cooling load [3] is calculated to select HVAC equipment that has the appropriate cooling capacity to remove heat from the zone. A zone is typically defined as an area with similar heat gains, similar temperature and humidity control requirements, or an enclosed space within a building with the purpose to monitor and control the zone's temperature and humidity with a single sensor e.g ...

  9. Balance point temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_point_temperature

    The building balance point temperature is the outdoor air temperature when the heat gains of the building are equal to the heat losses. [1] Internal heat sources due to electric lighting, mechanical equipment, body heat, and solar radiation may offset the need for additional heating although the outdoor temperature may be below the thermostat set-point temperature.
