The south doors will be considered entirely sunlit. The outdoor air temperature
is 95 F at 3:00 p.m. From Table.27 the inside Venetian blind factor is 0.74. The
instantaneous heat gains due to transmitted direct and diffuse solar radiation, and
from convection and radiation gain, are found in Tables 16 and 17 as listed below'
for the south facing doors and windows',. the north facing windows and the i glass
doors in the east wall. The gain through the solid portion of the east.doors may
beapproximated by use of Fig. 4, since the wood panels have'little heat capacity.
From Table 5 the diffuse radiation value is taken as 18 Btu per (hr)(sq ft) from
which U +
is found to be 98.2 for a = 0.7 and
4.0. From Fig. 4, q
= 27.0 Btu per (hr)(sq ft). These heat gains are itemized in the following table
(note the corrections for difference between 80 F indoor design temperature and the
75 F design temperature used in Table 17).

In some jobs it would be desirable to increase (or decrease) the instantaneous radi
ation heat gain by a load-lag factor. The reason for not doing so in this case is that
the solar gain is of a low magnitude, and reference to the table indicates that 0.8 of
the previous hour would not affect the results materially.
i
Heat Gain from Ventilation and Infiltration:
Since the necessary ventilation rate 1275 cfm is greater than one air change per hour, it will be satisfactory for determining the ventilation component of the heat gain.
Window infiltration can be taken as negligible since the windows do not open. -
Door.infiltration requires some judgment. Assume that for each person passing through the double doors, the infiltration will be 100 cu ft of outdoor air, see Chapter 10, Table 3. Assume that the outside doors will be used at the rate of 10 persons per hour and the inside doors at the rate of 30 persons per hour. Total infiltration will then be 40 X 100 = 4000 cfh or 67 cfm.
The design rate of entry of outside air is then:
Q = 1275 + 67 = 1342 cfm.
The sensible, latent and total loads are determined from Equations 12,13, and 14, respectively, at 3:00 p.m. (Table 11) to = 95, ti = 80, Wo = 0.0169, W\ = 0.0098. All the air entering the room as infiltration becomes a part of the space load.
Infiltration: q, = 67 X 1.08 (95- 80) = 1085 Btuh, sensible.
q. = 67 X 4840 (0.0169-0.0098) = 2300 Btuh, latent.
qt = q, + q. = 1085 + 2300 = 3385 Btuh, total.
Ventilation Air Taken through Cooling Unit Which Does Not Become a Part of the
Space Load:
. ..
g, .= 1275 X 1.08 (95--80) = 20,700 Btuh, sensible.
q. = 1275 X 4840 (0.0169-0.0098) = 43,800 Btuh, latent.
8t = 9. + . = 20,700 + 43,800 = 64,500 Btuh, total.

Heat Gain from Sources within the Conditioned Space: ' For the occupants, use the data ofTable 28 for moderately active office work.
Sensible heat gain = 85 X 200 = 17,000 Btu per hr.
Latent heat gain = 85 X 250 = 21,250 Btu per hr.
Total = 38,250 Btu per hr.
For the gain from lighting, use Equation 15 with a use factor of unity, and a special allowance factor of 1.20 for the fluorescents and of unity for the tungsten globes.
q,i = (12,000 X 1.20 + 4000) X 3.41 = 62,700 Btu per hr. For the fan motor, use Equation 16 with a load factor of unity, and omit term Motor Efficiency because the motor is not within the space.
jem = 7.5 X 2544 = 19,100 Btu per hr.
Moisture Permeation, Miscellaneous Allowance, and the Load-Lag Estimate:
Moisture permeation will be negligible, since this is a comfort job with a good building construction.
There would be some heat gain in the ductwork, but this Would not be great be cause of the short run involved. Practical judgment for this job would suggest that no adjustment for load-lag need be made to the load as computed. (Refer to Fig. 5). While it is true that inside radiation forms an important part of the total heat gain, it is advisable to be conservative in recognizing the effect of the large; flat, hot roof on the comfort sensations of the occupants. Radiation from the relatively low-ceiling', augmented by heat absorption from the lighting fixtures, would produce a sensation of warmth in excess of the nominal effective temperature (see Chapter 6) estab lished by the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures. Hence, it is not desirable to take advantage of every small decrease possible in the peak design load, especially since the peak occurs in mid-afternoon when everything would be rather wCU warmed.
