Single-Family Heating and Cooling Requirements: Assumptions, Methods, and SummaryResults. Topical Report, May 1990-March 1992

摘要

The study has created a data base of hourly building loads using a state-of-the-art building simulation code (DOE-2.1D) for 8 prototypes, representing pre-1940 to 1990 building practices, in 16 U.S. climates. The study describes the assumed modeling inputs and building operations, defines the building prototypes and selection of base cities, compares the simulation results to both surveyed and measured data sources, and discusses the results. In addition, the estimated loads on a per square foot basis are included as well as the peak heating and cooling loads.
