Roof construction: 2J in. flat roof deck of 2 in. gypsum fiber concrete on gypsum board surfaced with built-up roofing. (Table 16, U = 0.34 for summer.)
Floor construction: 4 in. concrete on ground. Window: 3 ft x 5 ft, non-opening type, with medium colored Venetian blinds for windows on south wall. Approximately 4 id. reveal on all windows. Front doors: Two 2 ft-6 in. x 7 ft (glass panels). Side doors: Two 2 ft-6 in. x 7 ft ( glass panels). Rear doors: Two 2 ft-6 in. x 7 ft (glass panels). Outside design conditions: Maximum drv-bulb 95 F, wet-bulb 78 F; W0 = 0.0169 lbs vapor per lb dry air; A = 41.38 Btu per lb dry air. Indoor design conditions: Dry-bulb 80 F, wet-bulb 65 F; W\ = 0.0098 lb vapor per lb dry air; h\ = 29.95 Btu per lb dry air. Occupancy: 85 office workers. Lights: 12,000 watts, fluorescent; 4000 watts tungsten. Fan motor: 71 hp. Conditioning equipment to be located in adjoining structure to north. Find: total, sensible, and latent maximum cooling loads and required air quantity through conditioning equipment.
Solution: From Table 4, the recommended ventilation rate is 15 cfm per person. Total necessary = 85 X 15 = 1275 cfm or 76,500 cu ft per hr.
As the room volume is 40,000 cu ft, the air changes per hour will be 76,500/40,000 = 191 which is more than one air change.
Estimated Time of Maximum Cooling Load:
For this job, judgment indicates that the roof will make the greatest single con
tribution to the cooling load. Hence, the time of maximum cooling load probably
will be the time of maximum heat gain through the roof. From Table 14 the maxi
mum temperature differential for a 2 in. gypsum roof of medium weight construction
is 54 deg at 4:00 p.m. and 53 deg at 3:00 p.m. Examination of Table 18 (40 deg N
Latitude) shows that solar heat gain through glass on the south wall is 19 Btu per
(hr) (sq ft) at 4:00 p.m. and 42 Btu at 3:00 p.m. This indicates that the maximum
cooling load occurs at approximately 3:00 pan. Therefore make load calculations
at 3:00 pjn. sun time. (This may be slightly different from 3:00 pjn. local time.)
In some cases, there would be no clear-cut evidence of this nature, and consequently
it would be necessary to estimate the load for Several successive times, and then to
select the maximum.

Heat Gain Through Outer Wall and Roof Areas:
9 From Table 15 the temperature differential for the south wall (8 in. concrete blodk with 4 in. brick veneer) may be about the same as al2in. brick which is 6 deg at 3:00 pjn. for a dark colored wall. From the same table, the temperature differential for the east wall (8 in. concrete block with plaster) will be 11 deg at 3:00 pjn. for a light colored wall (interpolating between 2:00 and 4:00 pjn.). Likewise, the tem perature differential for the north exposed wall (8 in. concrete block plus plaster) will be 3 deg at 3:00 pjn. (by interpolation) for a light wall.
The party wall of 13 in. brick on the West side and part of the North side may be treated as if it were an outside wall in the shade which has a temperature differential (from Table 15) of 2 deg.
For the door in North Wall estimate U =* 0.59 from Chapter 9/Table 9, No. 5A. The outdoor temperature at 3:00 p.m. is 95 F. Neglect time lag and any decrement factor. The temperature differential is (tf -- *0 = 95 -- 80. = 15 deg. "The tabula tion of the preceding values at 3 p.m. is given in the following table:

Heat Gain Through Glass Areas: ' - '
In computing the load for 3:00 p.m., only the south windows and doors will be exposed to direct sunlight. Table 18 and Equation 10 will give the total heat gain from the glass areas. The window reveals will shade the south windows; the frac tion of window area receiving direct radiation is obtained from Equation 11 by sub stituting values as follows:
n = s/l = 4/60; r, = 4/36; (3 = 45.5 deg, tan 0 = 1.02.
y = 16 deg, cot y = 3.487, cos y = 0.276.

The south doors will be considered entirely sunlit. The outdoor air temperature is 95 F at 3:00 pjn. From Table 23 the inside Venetian blind factor is taken as 0.74. Referring to Table 18, the instantaneous heat gain due to solar and sky radia tion for 40 deg N. latitude for south exposure at 3:00 pjn. is read as 42 Btu per sq ft. These figures are tabulated below. The radiation gain for south windows is 60 X 0.462 X 0.74 X 42 = 860 Btu per hr. The normal heat transmission 60. X 1.04 (95-- 80) = 940.The sum of these heat gains 1800 Btu per hr is. totaledin: last column. The remaining doors and windows are calculated in a similar manner.

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.
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.judginent. Assume-that for each person passing, through the double doors;the infiltration will.be 100 cuft of outdoor air, see Chapter
