CHAPTER IV ALGORITHMS FOR BUILDING HEAT GAIN AND HEAT LOSS CALCULATIONS In this chapter, the algorithms for calculating hourly heat flow through building envelopes were discussed. For calculating transient heat flow through opaque building materials having considerable thermal capacity, Heat Transfer Function introduced by ASHRAE1 was studied. This method was based on Thermal Response Factor Method developed by D.G. Stephenson and G.P. Mitalas in 1967. The method permits the utilization of hourly values of weather data for a whole year. Conventional UA(T -T ) method was adopted for calculating i o conductive heat flow through materials having no significant thermal capacity such as windows and doors. These algorithms were applied in Chapter VI to develop a computer model for calculating building heat gain and loss on hourly basis. 1 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, 1976 29 4.1 Thermal Response Factor Method Thermal Response Factor Method was first introduced by Mitalas and Stephenson2 in 1967. This is a way of presenting data on the dynamic thermal characteristics of a room for air-conditioning design calculations by digital computers. Response factors can only be used, however, if the system can be represented by linear and invariable equations. Mitalas3 has shown thatlinearequationsareadequatetodescribetheheattransferprocesses thatoccurinanairconditionedroom.Linearityimpliesthatthemagnitude of the response is linearly related to the magnitude of the excitation; invariability means that equal excitations applied at different times always produce equal responses. The response of a linear, invariable system to a unit time-series excitation function (1,0,0,...) is called the unit response function, and the time-serie
