| 1) a mat.'s "thermal conductivity" (k), is the rate heat passes thru: 2) "conductance" (C) is the ^ same property when: 3) "resistance" (R) of a mat. is the # of hrs needed for: 4) total conductance & total resistance are related, equation is: | 1) 1sf of 1in of thickness of mat. when the temp differential is 1°F 2) the mat. is a thickness oth than 1in 3) 1 Btu to pass thru a mat. of a given thickness when the temp differential is1F 4) R = 1/C * k, C, R values for mat.'s are given in tables in ASHRAE handbook - will be prvd on exam for any heat loss calcs |
| 1) when bldg assembly consists of more than one mat., value to calc heat loss is: | 1) w/ the "overall coefficient of heat transmission" or "U" - this value isn't the sum of all individual mat. conductance *use equation: U = 1/ΣR |
| 1) amt of heat loss thru 1 unit of area of bldg mat. is dependent on the coefficient of heat transmission of mat. & temp differential btwn inside & out - for entire area of one mat. type, value is multiplied by total area to get total heat loss "q" | q = U A ΔT *in order to calculate heat loss for entire rm or bldg, all different heat losses (walls, wndws, roof, etc) must be solved for & then added together |
| 1) how is the value of ΔT (change in temp) found? 2) heat loss calcs & psychrometric charts are used to avoid condensation on: | 1) by subtracting the outdoor design temp from the desired indoor temp (which is typ 70°F) 2) interior surfaces & inside bldg const. by finding the dew pt of moisture in air - Ex air at 70°F & 35% humidity has a dew-pt of 41F so moisture will condense on surfaces blw this temp |
| 1) b/c of warmer inside temps, to avoid water vapor from inside bldg permeating the const. & condensing on surfaces like wood sheathing & causing damage to it or reducing effectiveness of insulation, what can be done? 2) what is a "thermal gradient?" | 1) placing a vapor barrier on the warm side of insulation, so the side facing the bldg interior 2) it shows the variance in temp thru a cross section of a const. assembly Fig16.4 |
| 1) heat loss thru infiltration is calculated w/ equation: *infiltration greatly affects energy use so codes req. use of air barriers to min. it | 1) qᵥ = V (1.08) ΔT * 1.08 Btu-min/ft3-°F-hr accts for specific heat of air AKA the amt of heat air at a certain density can hold V (volumetric flow rate) = air infiltration calc'd from volume of air lost via cracks, doors, openings |

| 1) sensible heat gain from occupants is about (__) Btu/hr 2) total sensible heat is estimated by: 3) 1W (watt) = 3.41 Btu/hr so heat gains from lighting can be calc'd by multiplying: | 1) 225 Btu/hr 2) multiplying # of occ. by 225 Btu/hr 3) total wattage load of bldg's lighting by 3.41 *use 1.25 if fixtures are fluorescent |
| 1) why must latent heat be acct'd for in calc-ing heat gains? 2) in heat gain calcs latent heat is calc'd separately or % of total sensible heat which is based on: | 1) b/c for cooling purposes, moisture in air must be removed to maintain comfortable relative humidity level while sensible heat level is being reduced 2) exp & type of occ., typ about 30% of sensible heat gain in many occ.'s |
| 1) why is using bldg mat.'s w/ a high mass an effective passive method to mitigate effects of heat gain via solar radiation & air temp? 2) how do you calc sensible heat gain thru infiltration? | 1) b/c mat.'s like masonry, concrete, tile all slow transmission of heat into bldg - absorb heat & store it during the day & release it at night when air temp is cooler 2) sim to calc-ing heat loss - total heat gain is found by multiplying total area by an infiltration factor |
| 1) if a bldg is mech ventilated, vol of air brought into bldg is multiplied by: *see definitions P16-12 | 1) amt of heat that must be extracted to cool air & remove excess humidity *energy to do this in humid climates is alot |
| 1) "coefficient of heat transmission" (U) - overall rate of heat flow thru any combo of mat.'s, is the reciprocal of the sum of all the resistances in the bldg assembly 2) "conductance" (C) - # of Btu/hr that pass thru 1sf of same mat. of given thickness when temp differential is 1F | 3) "conductivity" (k) - # of Btu/hr that pass thru 1sf of same mat. 1in thk when temp differential is 1F 4) "dry-bulb temp" - temp of air-water mixture as measured w/ std. thermometer 5) "enthalpy" - total heat in a substance, both latent & sensible |
| 6) "latent heat" - heat that causes a change of state of a substance, like heat req'd to change water to steam (amt of heat req'd to change state of a substance is much greater than heat req'd to raise temp of a substance {sensible heat}) | 7) "resistance" - # of hrs needed for 1 Btu to pass thru 1 sf of mat. of given thkns when temp differential is 1F - reciprocal of conductance 8) "sensible heat" - heat that causes a change in temp of a substance but not state |
| 9) "specific heat" - # of Btu's req'd to raise the temp of a specific mat by 1F - it's a measure of a mat.'s capacity to store heat as compared w/ the storage capacity of water | 10) "wet-bulb temp" - temp of air as measured w/ a sling psychrometer - more critical measure of heat in high humidity b/c it's an indicator of physical stress caused when the human body is near limit of temp regulation by perspiration |
