Obtain schedule of lighting, occupants, internal equipment, appliances, and processes that would
contribute to the internal loads.
Calculate peak cooling load due to conductive and solar effects (rooms 1st, zones 2nd, total last) .
Calculate conductive heat gains through walls, roof, glazing, etc.
Calculate solar gains through glazing (windows).

Equation
Q = Uroof * Aroof * ETDt
Q = Uwall * Awall * ETDt
Q = Uwindow * Awindow * TD (conductive)
Q = SC * Aglass * SF (solar)
Q = Udoor * Adoor * TD
These loads must be calculated for each hour of occupancy in order to determine the peak load for the building. See
spreadsheet (MET 465 Cool Load Example Calcs.) for summary of calculations
