Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Conduction cooling load = 2450
  • Solar radiation cooling load = 1870
  • Internal sensible heat gain = 920
  • Internal latent heat gain = 310
  • Infiltration sensible cooling load = 430
  • Infiltration latent cooling load = 220

Expected Result:

  • Total zone cooling load = 6200

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Total zone cooling load = 6200 W.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
