Considerations for the calculation:
The thermal load of an auditorium with a capacity of 268 people will be calculated.
The tabular method will be used as the calculation methodology:
Q=AREA(A) * COEFFICIENTS(B) * COEFFICIENTS(f)
Where:
Q: B=
∗
The calculation will be carried out for the southern hemisphere.
Indoor temperature: 19ºC.
External temperature: 24ºC.
For the calculation of 58 Wse Blossoms, the software used was: 'Lumenlux'.
150W multimedia projector.
100 W computer.
The environment to be conditioned and its orientation:
Estimated area = 216 2
Ceiling height = 3.85 m
Height without ceiling = 4.6 m
Volumen estimado= 832.6 2

A type of wall is chosen: 'Medium' for the side of the exposed walls: east and
west.
b) Thermal load due to heat entering through the exposed roof:
Type of roof B
Light ceiling 165
c/ false ceiling 60
Half ceiling 92
ceiling 38
Heavy ceiling 43
ceiling 23
Table 2
Because the roof receives constant shade throughout the day from the pavilions
Built near the auditorium is not considered thermal load due to the exposed roof
c) Thermal load due to heat entering through the windows:
Since there are no windows in the calculation for the air-conditioned environment being a
environment with little exterior lighting, the heat that enters is not taken into account

On the north side of the auditorium there is a wall shared with another
environment of the same auditorium, which by criteria is not equated with air
air-conditioned, for this reason a coefficient B: of 8 is taken

On the 'east' side of the auditorium, there is a shared wall in ¾ of the
length with another environment, for this reason a coefficient B: of 8 is taken

Theaters, tea rooms Sitting 100
Offices, hotels, Doing work 120
restaurants, stores Office

It is considered that the occupants are seated inside the auditorium,
a coefficient B is chosen: 100

Luminaria: 58 KW Fluorescent
For the selection and calculation of the luminaires, the program 'LumeLux' was used:
Projector: 150 KW
Computer: 100 KW
