ACI Home Performance Conference 2007
BAS 2 - Heat Loss & Heat Gain
Tuesday, April 24, 2007 · 1:30 PM - 3:10 PMThe energy usage for heating and cooling (driven by thermal losses and gains that the house experiences) can be understood through basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer. The workshop, intended for those new to the field or wanting to brush up on the fundamentals, will review the heat transfer modes and energy exchanges between the building envelope, its contents, and the environment.
By attending this session, participants will
- Understand the basic principles that lead to energy usage in heating and cooling a home
- Learn about the heat transfer modes and where they are present
- Explore examples that demonstrate the effect of heat losses and gains on energy usage
