Heating Load Estimation for Classroom A11-1B

The document provides a detailed estimation of the heating load for a classroom, including room dimensions, design conditions, and calculations for transmission, ventilation, infiltration, and internal gains. Key results indicate a design sensible heating load of 27.741 kW and a latent heating load of 5.668 kW after applying a safety factor. The calculations account for various factors such as wall areas, occupancy, and temperature differences.

1. Room dimensions
Length = 32.00 m , Width = 10.36 m , Height = 3.6576 m

Floor area = 331.52 m² , Volume = 1212.57 m³

Gross wall area = Perimeter×H = 309.87 m²

Total windows= 3

Windows total area = 14.864 m²

Total doors= 3

Doors total area = 11.1484 m²

Opaque wall area = 309.87-14.864-11.1484 = 283.86 m²

2. Design conditions and assumptions


Indoor (heating) design temperature = 25.0 °C

Outdoor (winter) design temperature = 10.0 °C

Temp. Difference = 15.0 K

Floor assumed temperature = 18.0 °C, Temp. Difference (floor) = 7.0 K

Overall heat-transfer coefficient values used:

Walls U = 1.5 W/m²K

Glass U = 5.9 W/m²K

Roof U = 2.5 W/m²K

Floor U = 0.7 W/m²

Doors U = 1.5 W/m²K

Occupancy = 50 persons

Sensible/person = 75 W; latent/person = 55 W

Total no. of lights = 27

Lights sensible = 27 × 40 W

Mechanical OA = 6.7 L/s·person → total 335 L/s = 20.10 cmm = 0.335 m³/s

Infiltration assumed = 0.5 ACH → 10.10 cmm = 0.1684 m³/s


Indoor RH assumed 50%; outdoor RH assumed 60% for latent estimates

Safety factor = 5% (applied to final RSH and RLH)

●​ Humidity Ratio:

W = 0.622Pv/(P−Pv​)​ where Pv = ϕ⋅Psat​(T)

For indoor:(50% RH)

Wi​= 0.622(1.585)/(101.325−1.585)​= 0.00987 kgw/kga

For outdoor:(60% RH)

Wo = 0.622(0.738)/(101.325−0.738)​=0.00457 kgw/kga

ΔW = Wi​−Wo​= 0.00987−0.00457 = 0.00530 kgw/kga

3. Calculations

3.1 Transmission (conduction) calculations


Using Q = U × A × ΔT

Walls: Q_walls = 1.5 × 283.86 × 15.0 = 6386.8 W = 6.387 kW

Glass: Q_glass = 5.9 × 14.864 × 15.0 = 1315.5 W = 1.315 kW

Roof: Q_roof = 2.5 × 331.52 × 15.0 = 12432.0 W = 12.432 kW

Floor: Q_floor = 0.7 × 331.52 × 7.0 = 1624.4 W = 1.624 kW

Doors: Q_doors = 1.5 × 11.1484 × 15.0 = 250.8 W = 0.251 kW

Total transmission = Q_trans_total = 22009.6 W = 22.010 kW

3.2 Ventilation (outside air) calculations


OA volumetric flow = 335 L/s = 0.335 m³/s (mass flow m = ρ × V = 1.2 × 0.335 = 0.402 kg/s)

●​ OASH = 0.0204 × 20.1 × 15 = 6.15 kW.​

●​ OALH = 50 × 20.1 × 0.00530 = 5.3265 kW.​

3.3 Infiltration calculations


Infiltration (cmm) = 10.105 cmm

Infiltration mass flow = ρ × V̇_inf = 1.2 × 0.168412 = 0.2021 kg/s


Q_Infiltration_sensible = 0.0204 × cmm × ΔT = 0.0204 × 10.105 × 15.0 = 3.092 kW

Q_Infiltration_latent = 50× cmm × Δw = 50 × 10.105 × 0.00530 = 2.6777 kW

3.4 Internal gains


People sensible = 50 × 75 W = 3750.0 W = 3.750 kW

People latent = 50 × 55 W = 2750.0 W = 2.750 kW

Lights sensible = 27 × 40 W = 1080.0 W = 1.080 kW

Total internal sensible gain = 4.830 kW

Total internal latent gain = 2.750 kW

4. Room balances
Sensible balance (before safety):

RSH_net = Q_trans_total + OASH + Q_Infiltration_sensible - Q_internal_sensible

= 22.010 + 6.060 + 3.092 - 4.830 = 26.332 kW

Latent balance (before safety):

RLH_net = Q_internal_latent + OALH - Q_Infiltration_latent

= 2.750 + 5.3265 - 2.677 = 5.3989 kW

Apply safety factor (5%):

Design RSH = RSH_net × 1.05 = 27.741 kW


Design RLH = RLH_net × 1.05 = 5.668 kW
