Single-Room Heat Balance for Building Heat Transfer

摘要

A single-room heat balance has been developed to provide a more precise computational tool. The primary purpose for this tool is to evaluate the effects of approximations presently used in computer programs on the determination for building heating and cooling loads. Specific algorithms to be incorporated in the room heat balance concern radiosity shape factors, temperature difference dependent convection heat transfer coefficients, simulated room mass, and an iterative methodology for solution of room temperatures.
