Load Calculation Applications Manual (SI edition)

The Load Calculation Applications Manual builds upon three previous ASHRAE publications that focus on the calculation of cooling and heating loads for commercial buildings. Whether you are a new engineer who is learning how to do load calculations or a veteran who wishes to learn the radiant time series (RTS) method, this book is a must-have resource.

Outlined in the manual are two methods for calculating cooling loads in nonresidential buildings - the heat balance (HB) method and the RTS method. Both methods were first fully presented for use in design load calculations in the predecessor to this volume, Cooling and Heating Load Calculation Principles. But much has changed since the book was first published in 1998. The Load Calculation Applications Manual steps in where the last book left off to provide you with the latest information regarding load calculations.

In the books early chapters, an overview of the heat transfer processes present in buildings and a brief discussion of how they are analyzed together in order to determine the cooling load are provided. Later chapters focus on the theory and application of the RTS method, systems and psychrometrics, heating load calculations, and the HB method and its implementation.

The accompanying CD contains Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that compute cooling loads using the RTS method. These spreadsheets calculate the solar irradiation, conduction time factor series, and radiant time factors utilized by the method. Plus, you can adapt the spreadsheets to compute cooling loads for a wide range of buildings.
