Heating Load:
1- Heat loss through walls, windows,etc
2- Heat to warm outside air (1) desired (2) infiltration
The ideal heating system would provide just enough heat to m
loss from structure.
Load is not a constant
Outdoor temp changes as well as wind velocity, sunlight (sola
heat gains, appliances, people.
Heating system must handle the coldest outside average tem
the year.
Most equipment operate at partial load most of the time

The following Factors should be considered
performing heat load calculations:1. Is the heat capacity of the structure high or low ?
2. Is the structure insulated ?
3. Is the structure exposed to high wind ?
4. Is the ventilation or infiltration load high ?
5. Is there more glass area than normal in the structure ?
6. During what part of the day will the structure be used ?
7. What is the nature of occupancy ?
8. Will there be long periods of operation at reduced indoor tempe
9. What is the amplitude between maximum and minimtemperature in the locality ?
10. Are there local conditions that cause significant variattemperatures listed ?
11. What auxiliary heating devices will be in the building ?
12. What is the expected cost of fuel or energy ?

Procedure for calculating heat losses from a s
1. Select the design outdoor weather conditions: temperature, hum
direction, and speed.
2. Select the design indoor air temperature to be maintained
space when outside design conditions exist.
3. Estimate temperatures in adjacent un-heated spaces.
4. Select or compute the heat transmission coefficient (U fbuilding components through which heat losses are to be calcu
5. Determine all surface areas through which the heat is lost.
6. Compute heat transmission losses for each kind of wall, glass
and roof in the building by multiplying the heat transmission
each case by the area of the surface and the temperature diffe
indoor and outdoor air, or adjacent unheated space.
7. Compute heat losses from basement or grade-level slab floo
presented in Chapter 5.

8. Select infiltration air quantities and compute the heat loinfiltration around doors and windows.
9. When positive ventilation using outdoor air is provided by an
air-conditioning unit, the energy required to warm the outdootemperature must be provided by the unit. The principle for calload component is identical to that for infiltration. If mechanicathe room is provided in an amount equal to the out-door air drunit, the unit must also provide for the natural infiltrationmechanical exhaust is used, and the outdoor ventilation air sup-exceeds the natural infiltration that would occur without vent
infiltration may be neglected.10. The sum of the transmission losses or heat transmitted through
walls, floors, ceiling, glass, and other surfaces, plus the energy athe cold entering air by infiltration or required to replace mechrepresents the total heating load.
11. In buildings that have a reasonably steady internal heat releasemagnitude from sources other than the heating system, a comp
heat release under design conditions should be made and dedtotal of the heat losses computed above.
12. Additional heating capacity may be required for intermibuildings to bring the temperature of the air, confining surfacecontents to the design indoor temperature within a specified tim

Source Media for space heating
Hot water as heating media
q = mwcp (t2 t1)
where:
q = heating required, Btu/hr or W
mw = mass flow rate of hot water, lbm/hr or kg/s
cp = specific heat of water, Btu/lbm or kJ/(kg-C
t2 = water temperature leaving coil, F or C
t1 = water temperature entering coil, F or C
Assuming that cp is constantq = 500 Qgpm(t2 t1) English Units
q = 4.2 QL/s(t2 t1) SI units

Source Media for space heating
Steam as heating fluid
q = mv (i2 i1)
where:
q= heating required, Btu/hr or Wmv = mass flow rate of the vapor, lbm/hr or kg/s
i2 = enthalpy of the vapor leaving the coil, Btu/lbm o
i1 = enthalpy of the vapor entering the coil, Btu/lbm
If saturated vapor is the heating medium,
i2 i1 = the enthalpy of vaporization, i fg.

Source Media for space heating
Furnace Heating
In the case of a furnace where combustion gases
air directly, the heating value of the fuel and a fu
efficiency must be known. A general relation from
mfor Qfcan be found is
qf= mf(HV)= Qf(HV)where:
qf = heating required, Btu/hr or W
mf = rate at which fuel is used, lbm/hr or kg
Qf = Volume flow rate ft3/min or m3/s
HV = heating value of the fuel, Btu/lbm or kJ
= furnace efficiency
