of the results in Table 9. The values in column F of Table 8 were obtained by multi plying together the figures in columns C, D, and E. The heat losses are calculated to the nearest 10 Btu. See reference notes for Table 7 for further explanation of data.
Attention is called to the summary of heat losses (Table 9) for the uninsulated resi dence. As storm windows are used in this instance the glass and door transmission heat losses of 19.8 percent are relatively small. The infiltration losses of 14.0 per cent are also comparatively small because the storm windows are equivalent to weatherstripping. In this problem, the wall, ceiling and floor transmission losses
comprise 66.2 percent of the total. Example 7: Calculate the heat loss of residence shown in Fig. 2 based on the same
conditions as in Example 6 but having construction improved or insulated to obtain

THE variables affecting cooling-load calculations are numerous, often difficult to define precisely, and always intricately inter-related. Most of the components of the cooling load vary in magnitude over a wide range during a 24-hour period, and as the cyclic changes in load com ponents are not usually in phase with each other, careful analysis is re quired to establish the resultant maximum cooling load for a building or zone. A zoned system must often handle peak loads in different zones at different hours.
Economic considerations must be of particular influence in the selection of equipment for cooling season operation in comfort air conditioning, and this fact, coupled with present inadequacies in available data and knowl edge of the air-conditioning art, places a premium on the experienced judg ment essential to successful design or practice. Variations in the weather, building occupancy, and other factors affecting 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 chapter deal with the vari ous instantaneous rates of heat gain, both sensible and latent, in a condi tioned space. There may' be an appreciable difference between the net instantaneous rale ofheat gain and the total cooling load at any instant. This difference is caused by the storage and subsequent release of heat by the structure and its contents. This thermal-storage effect may be quite im portant in determining an economical cooling equipment capacity. The lack of any adequate means of treating this storage quantitatively in its entirety for a complete structure, must be recognized in judging the pro cedures and data presented for calculating individual components of the oet rate of instantaneous heat gain.
Solar healing calculations involve the same principles as cooling load calculations. Many of the data on solar radiation given in this chapter can be used in calculations for solar heating. ,
COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS
Summer cooling load calculations, whether for industrial or comfort applications, require consideration of the following factors:
A. Design Conditions: (1) indoor conditions; (2) outdoor conditions; (3) venti lation rate.
B. Instantaneous Heat Load, Sensible and Latent: (1) load from solar radiation,
