ACI Home Performance Conference 2008
ELEC 6 - Reducing Cooling Loads
Wednesday, April 09, 2008 · 2:00 PM - 3:40 PMIdentify the driving forces that impact residential cooling loads. Review how to control heat flow (conduction, convection, radiation, and internal loads) into a home. Examine a design process for the sizing and installation of a HVAC system. This design process involves using a computerized version of the industry standard ACCA Manual J calculation procedure, with specific parameters specified to properly handle infiltration, ventilation, glazing, and airflow velocities for ducts.
By attending this session, participants will
- Learn the basic building science that drives cooling loads
- Review solutions to common construction defects
- Explore how to analyze and implement a systems approach to their HVAC needs
