ACI Home Performance Conference 2007
COMF 6 - Radiant Heat Transfer
Wednesday, April 25, 2007 · 3:30 PM - 5:10 PMThe three forms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Each form impacts the building design and heating / cooling calculations to some extent. Find out how radiant heat transfer effects energy consumption, occupant comfort, building material, and HVAC equipment sizing. Maximize your work by discovering why the interrelated system of radiant heat transfer is well understood, but not widely applied.
By attending this session, the participants will
- Develop a comprehensive understanding of radiant heat transfer
- Learn how to design buildings and their HVAC systems to incorporate radiant heat transfer impacts or evaluate the omission impact of a building system that ignores radiant heat transfer from a BTU per SF / HDD.
- View the impact on occupant thermal comfort conformance to ASHRAE Standard 55 using the ABOVE computer program as validation of LEED Green Building Compliance.
