An online residential cooling load calculation program
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an online interactive program and how it can benefit students of engineering and architecture in the learning of residential cooling load calculation. This program is also helpful in the training of professional engineers and architects in the basic load calculations. It can be used as a stand-alone teaching aid or an add-on component for any online course dealing with air-conditioning or architectural design. The implementation of this online load calculation program has greatly enhanced the learning experience of our students in the study of airconditioning systems and the design of energy-efficient buildings.

The energy required to create a comfortable living environment in high-density cities in hot and humid climates usually demands a substantial electricity usage with an associated environmental burden. This paper describes an integrated passive design approach to reduce the cooling requirement for high-rise apartments through an improved building envelope design. The results show that a saving o...
متن کاملSimulation of Tree Shade Impacts on Residential Energy Use for Space Conditioning in Sacramento
-Tree shade reduces summer air conditioning demand and increases winter heating load by intercepting solar energy that would otherwise heat the shaded structure. We evaluate the magnitude of these effects here for 254 residential properties participating in a utility sponsored tree planting program in Sacramento, California. Tree and building characteristics and typical weather data are used to...
