Passive Solar Commercial Buildings Project. Project Status Report, January 1-January 31, 1984

摘要

The data from the Security State Bank is ready for BLAST analysis. The TMY data from the test data needs to be placed in BLAST readable format before analysis can continue. A further examination of the infiltration data taken during the site visit has led to some encouraging results. Most of the usable data compares well with air flow predictions made by the Aeolian Kinetics data logger and natural infiltration rates have been obtained. An initial BLAST model of the Johnson Controls building has been created consisting of five thermal zones, three of which are supplied by heating and cooling equipment. Site data taken by the Aeolian Kinetics data logger has been used to develop equipment schedules for the final BLAST model. The building alterations test required to calibrate the BLAST model is currently being performed. This test should be completed and data sent to ESG by the end of February 1984. The task status of computer modeling, daylighting analysis and performance monitoring is reported. (ERA citation 09:030548)
