load, necessitate carefully coordinated controls to regulate simultaneously the components and the equipment in order to maintain the desired room conditions.
The calculation procedures presented in this section deal with the various instantaneous rates of heat gain, both sen sible and latent, in a conditioned space. There may be an appreciable difference between the net instantaneous rale of heat gain and the total coding load at any instant. This differ ence is caused by the. storage and subsequent release of heat by the structure and its contents. This thermal-storage effect may be quite important in determining an economical cooling equipment capacity. This effect has been demonstrated by investigators using thermal circuit techniques and com puters.*-11 The lack of any adequate means of treating this storage analytically in its entirety for a complete structure must be recognized in judging the procedures and data pre sented for calculating individual components of the net rate of ingfamtaflapys frpftfr'gwm
Indoor Conditions

Research at the ASHRAE Research Laboratory1* concludes
that, for inactive individuals, lightly clothed in still-air con
ditions, the line of optimum comfort ranges from 77.6 F at
30 percent relative humidity to 76.5 F at 85 percent relative
humidity. It is only slightly dependent on humidity. This
. research was based on 3-hr exposures to constant conditions
in a room where the walls were held at room air temperatures;
whereas earlier research resulting in the Effective Tempera

perature change.

Indoor design conditions, for .which summer air-condi
tioning equipment is selected, should preferably be chosen at
75 F dry-bulb, with a relative humidity of 50 percent for the
average job in the United States and Canada. In arid climates,
a design relative humidity of 40 percent should be chosen.
The 75 F design dry-bulb temperature, which is slightly
lower than the optimum range of 76.5 to 77.6 (with walls at
Solar heating calculations involve the same principles as cooling load calculations. Many of the data on solar radiation
given in this section can be used in calculations for solar heating
room temperature), will partially compensate for the higher mean radiant temperatures normally encountered in comfort cooling applications. For brief occupancy only, a higher drybulb temperature may be chosen, although complaints of dis
