Heat Load Calculation Example

This document calculates the design transmission and ventilation heat loss of a living room in a single family house being built in Budapest. It involves 7 steps: 1) Determining the external design temperature, 2) Defining the spaces, 3) Determining thermal characteristics of building elements, 4) Setting indoor design conditions, 5) Calculating design transmission heat loss, 6) Calculating design ventilation heat loss, 7) Calculating total design heat loss. The total design heat loss is calculated to be 1724 Watts.

Example 1

Calculation of design transmission and ventilation heat loss of a living

room in a single family house. The building project will be built in

Budapest.

Ground-plan of the building:

Step 1

Determination of external design temperature

National standard: –13 °C

(Other source: ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals 2001 Ch. 27.36:

Heating Dry Bulb Temperature: –13.2 … – 10.2 °C)

Step 2

Definition of each space of the building. This is a heated space. Above

the heated space there is a loft, below there is a basement.

Step 3

Determination of dimensional characteristics thermal characteristics of

building elements

Element Surface, m2 U-value, W/m2,K

W1 Window 6.6 1.6

W2 Window 2.25 1.6

D1 Door 2.0 1.6

OW1 Wall 6.38 · 3.1 – 6.6 – 2.0 = 11.2 0.45

OW2 Wall 5.38 · 3.1 – 2.25 = 14.4 0.45

PD1 Partition door 2.0 3.0


PW1 Partition wall 6.21 · 3.1 – 2.0 = 17.25 3.75

PW2 Partition wall 5.21 · 3.1 = 16.15 3.75

Ceiling 5.38 · 6.38 = 34.3 0.3

Floor 5.38 · 6.38 = 34.3 0.5

16

Step 4

Determination of indoor design conditions in all heated and unheated

spaces

EN 12831 Annex A, Table A.2 Internal design temperature

Heated spaces

1 – Living room: 20 °C (Table A.2. Residential)

2 – Room: 20 °C

3 – Kitchen: 20 °C

Unheated spaces

Loft: –8 °C

Basement: +5 °C (closed space)

Step 5

Calculation of design transmission heat loss

288 W

7 Floor 34.3 0.5 20-5=15 257 W

Total _T 1498 W

Step 6

Calculation of design ventilation heat loss

Infiltration air flow rate:

inf i 50 i i

V& = 2 _V _ n _ e _ _

Vi = 5 · 6 · 2.8 = 84 m3

n50 = 4 (medium air-tightness, other dwellings than single family

houses)

ei = 0.03 (heated spaces with more than one exposed opening)

_i = 1.0 (0 – 10 m)

V 2 84 4 0.03 1.0 20.16 m / h 3

inf = _ _ _ _ =

VttW

V i o 0.34 ( ) 0.34 20.16 (20 ( 13)) 226 inf

_=_&_−=__−−=

Step 7

Calculation of total design heat loss


__

_=_+__fTV()

f__ = 1.0 (EN 12831:2003 D.7.3, Internal design temperature: normal)

_ = _T + _V = 1498 W + 226 W = 1724 W

Summary of Heating Load Calculation Equations

Load Source Equation

Exterior surfaces above grade q = U·A·_t

Where _t = ti – to

Partitions to unconditioned buffer space q = U·A·_t

Where _t = tempr. difference across partition

Walls below grade q = Uavg.bw ·A·(tin – tgr)

Where Uavg.bw – below-grade wall average U-factor

tin – below-grade space air temperature

tgr – design ground surface temperature

Floors on grade q = Fp·p·_t

Where Fp – heat loss coefficient per foot of perimeter

p – perimeter of floor

Floors below grade q = Uavg.bf ·A·(tin – tgr)

Where Uavg.bf – below-grade floor average U-factor

Ventilation/infiltration qvi = Cs·Q·_t

Where Cs – air sensible heat factor

Q – air volume flow rate


Total sensible load qs = q
