EGEE 102 Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection EGEE 102- S. Pisupati Home Heating Basics National Average Home Energy Costs Why do we need Heating? Typical Heat losses- Conventional House Heat Transfer Conduction Convection Radiation Conduction Convection Radiation Degree Days Index of fuel consumption indicating how many degrees the mean temperature fell below 65 degrees for the day Heating degree days (HDD) are used to estimate the amount of energy required for residential space heating during the cool season. Cooling degree days (CDD) are used to estimate the amount of air conditioning usage during the warm season How do we calculate HDD? HDD = Tbase - Ta if Ta is less than Tbase HDD = 0 if Ta is greater or equal to Tbase Where: Tbase = temperature base, usually 65 F Ta = average temperature, Ta = (Tmax + Tmin) / 2 Heating Degree Days Calculate the number of degree days accumulated in one day in which the average outside temperature is 17oF. Degree days = 1 day ( 65 – Tout) = 1 (65-17) = 48 degree days Heating Degree Days in a Heating Season Calculate the degree days accumulated during a 150-day heating season if the average outside temperature is 17oF Solution: Heating Season Degree days = 150 days ( 65 – Tout) = 150 (65-17) = 7,200 degree days Degree Days for the Heating Season Class work Significance of HDD Mrs. Young is moving from Anchorage, Alaska (HDD =10,780) to State college, PA (HDD = 6,000). Assuming the cost of energy per million Btu is the same at both places, by what percentage her heating costs will change? Solution HDD in Anchorage, Alaska = 10,780 HDD in State College PA = 6,000 Difference = 10,780 - 6,000 = 4,780 Saving in fuel costs are Home Energy Saver / Home Heating Costs in State College Home Heating Costs Related to amount of insulation, material that resists the flow of heat Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat fl
