DESIGN COOLING LOAD -- Part One

External Loads

External cooling loads consist of the following:

sensible loads through opaque envelope assemblies (roofs, walls, floors);


sensible loads--both radiant and convective--through transparent or translucent envelope assemblies (skylights, window
sensible loads caused by the leakage of outdoor air through the building envelope (called infiltration);
latent loads through opaque envelope assemblies; and
latent loads from infiltration.

Because of the inherent differences in these types of heat flows, they are calculated (estimated) using six different equatio

(1) qS = (U)(A)(CLTD) is used for sensible loads from opaque elements located above ground;

(2) qS = (A)(SHGC)(SHGF)(CLF) is used for radiant sensible loads from transparent/translucent elements;

(3) qS = (U)(A)(CLTD) is used for convective sensible loads from transparent/translucent elements;

(4) qS = (CFM)(1.1)(delta t) is used for sensible loads due to infiltration;

(5) W = (M)(A)(delta p) is used for latent loads through elements above ground;

(6) qL = (CFM)(4840)(delta W) is used for latent loads due to infiltration

These equations are commonly used by engineers to calculate cooling loads and size systems based upon decisions made e

Internal Loads

Internal cooling loads consist of the following:

sensible loads due to lighting;


sensible loads due to occupants;
latent loads due to occupants;
sensible loads due to equipment and appliances; and
latent loads due to equipment and appliances.

Because of the inherent differences in these types of heat flows, they are calculated (estimated) using five different equatio
(1) qS = (Installed Lamp Watts)(3.41)(Usage Factor)(Ballast Factor)(CLF) is used for sensible loads from lighting systems;

(2) qS = (No. of People)(BtuhS/person)(CLF) is used for sensible loads from occupants;

(3) qL = (No. of People)(BtuhL/person) is used for latent loads from occupants;

(4) qS = (Installed Watts)(3.41)(Usage Factor)(CLF) is used for sensible loads from equipment;

(5) qL = (Tabulated Latent Output)(Usage Factor)

temperature difference between indoor

this type of load is instantaneous C
there is no capacitive effect from
building mass

delta p

inch of mercury
difference in vapor pressure between
indoor and outdoor air
a function of the interior and exterior
climate conditions
during cooling season, the exterior
vapor pressure is usually higher than the
interior vapor pressure

found from psychrometric chart (one


that shows vapor pressures)

pounds H2O / pound dry air

difference in absolute humidity between


indoor and outdoor air
