Cooling load temperature difference (CLTD)
CLTDc for the roof:
CLTDC = [(CLTD + LM )k + (25.5 − Ti ) + ([Link] − 29.4)] f
From Table 12(b),
CLTD for Type 4, 25mm insulation, 5:00 PM: CLTD= 37

CLTDC = [(CLTD + LM )k + (25.5 − Ti ) + ([Link] − 29.4)] f
From Table 9: Maximum Temperature in Bangladesh = 33 c , Daily Range = 11 c

f = 1 (no attic fan)
CLTDC = [(CLTD + LM )k + (25.5 − Ti ) + ([Link] − 29.4)] f
= [(37 + 0)*1 + (25.5 − 25.5) + (27.5 − 29.4)]*1 = 35.1
CLTDc for south wall:
From Table 15: Type G, South, 5 PM, CLTD = 17
From Table 13: Latitude 24, April, South, LM= -1.6
CLTDC = [(17 − 1.6)1 + (25.5 − 25.5) + (27.1 − 29.4)]1 = 13.5
CLTDc for east wall:
From Table 15: Type G, East, 5 PM, CLTD = 15
From Table 13: Latitude 24, April, South, LM= -0.5
CLTDC = [(15 − 0.5)1 + (25.5 − 25.5) + (27.1 − 29.4)]1 = 12.2

(For glass, Solar time 5 PM , CLTD = 7)
Solar Heat Gain through Glass:
From Table 21: Clear Glass, 13mm Thickness, h0=7: Shading Coefficient SC = 0.88
From Table 18(a) : South Sunlit Glass, April : SHGF = 237
East Sunlit Glass, April : SHGF = 719
From Table 19: Solar Time 5 PM ,Light Construction, for East : CLF = 0.22 , South : CLF =0.43
Solar Heat Gain Through Glass, Q = A * SC * SHGFmax * CLF
For South Glass, Q = 1.6384*0.88*237*0.43 = 146.93W
For east Glass, Q = 3.64*0.88*719*0.22 = 506.68W
Cooling Load for air exchange:
A. Sensible Heat Gain: Qsensible = * Cp *V *(To − Ti )
Now,
* Cp = 1200 J / m3
Volume = 13.46 *3 = 40.38m3
ACH = 1
V = 40.38m3 / h = 0.01122m3 / s
Qs = 1200*0.01122*(33 − 25.5) = 100.98W
B. Latent Heat Gain: Qlatent = ( * hfg ) *V *(o − i )
Here,
* h fg = 3010*103 J / m3
V = 0.01122m3 / s
From Table 9: TDB = 33 c, TWB = 27 c
At, 33 c dbt and 27 c wbt, o = 20.25*10−3
At 25.5 c dbt and 50% RH, i = 10.25*10−3
QL = 3010 *103 *0.0122 *(20.25 − 10.25) *10−3 = 367.22W
Heat gain due to Occupants:
From Table 28:
Qs = 75*1 = 75W
(Light work)
QL = 55*1 = 55W
Heat Gain due to Equipments:
Q = P * CLF = (200 + 30)*1 = 230W
Here,
Plaptop = 200W
Pphone = 30W
CLF = 1( Assume)
Cooling Load due to Lights:
Qs = PL * Floor _ Area * BF * D * CLF
QS = (25*13.46) *1*1*0.90 = 302.85W
