adequate ventilation of the attic. Double-glazed t>d weather-
stnpped windows, heat-absorbing glass, planned shade tree
locations, and light-colored exterior wall and roof surfaces,
also help to reduce the cooling load.

nrffllS chapter will discuss the design and application of I air-conditioning systems for various types of stores,
including: (1) small stores, (2) variety stores, (3) supermar kets, and (4) department stores.
PART I: SMALL STORES
Air conditioning in modern small stores has become more of a necessity rather than just a convenience to provide com fort for the customer. With the advent of greater lighting intfn"tiea in show windows and sales areas, and with internal fixture layouts discouraging use of windows for internal ventilation, air conditioning has become a prime requirement of modern store design.
The requirements for air-conditioning design and installa tion in small stores are fairly uniform with variations as to location of equipment, services, and air distribution.
Generally, in email store air-conditioning design, unitary equipment should be considered. Ease of installation, economy in first costs, minimum space requirements, factory warran ties and relocation of equipment arc some of the advantages of unitary equipment. For information on unitary air con ditioners, see Chapter 57 of the 1961 Guide And Data Book.
LOAD DETERMINATION
In order to properly apply equipment, it is necessary to
know the construction of the space to be conditioned, as well
as the use and occupancy. The time of day in which greatest
occupancy occurs, as well as physical building characteristics
and lighting layouts, should be obtained from drawings. If
drawings are not available, an actual survey of the premises
should be
including the following pertinent information:
Windows--type, size, number, storm oh and shading devices
- available. Skylights--sue Walla--construction, insulation and interior finish.
Partitions--type, height, exposure to show windows. Ceiling and Roof--construction, insulation, type of occupancy
exhaust systems where sods mid lunch counters exist, requir ing an increased quantity of outdoor air. Heavy smoking and objectionable odors may require special filtering media in con junction with outdoor air intake. Load calculations often can be made with sufficient accuracy by use of the short form cool ing load estimate form as recommended by the Air-Condition ing and Refrigeration Institute.1 If a more detailed load calcu lation is necessary, the procedure outlined in Chapter 26 of the 1961 Guide And Data Book should be used.
Table 1 presents typical factors which may be used as check figures and for field estimate information. However, Table 1 should not be used for final determination of load since the values are only averages.
EQUIPMENT SELECTION
Modern unitary equipment is offered in many types and nwtela as discussed in Chapter 57 of the 1961 Guide And Data Book. Free standing types are most commonly used where floor space is available. The units are readily adapted for installation within the store fixture work. Units also can be installed remote from the conditioned areas, in utility or basement spaces, with distribution through ductwork.
Where floor space is not available, suspended unitary equip ment can be installed. Existing stores with small cooling loads often use room air conditioners installed in transoms above the doors or through walls where space is available.
Where air-cooled condenser operation is advantageous, units are available with air-cooled condensers and compres sors combined as a unit to be mounted remotely, with fan coil unit rpo|>nt*d within or adjacent to the conditioned area.
The reverse-cycle system (heat pump) offered as packaged equipment can be readily adaptable for small store applica tion with economies in first costs, if the heating equipment is.-
