ACI Home Performance Conference 2008
FUND 2 - Building Energy Use Fundamentals
Tuesday, April 08, 2008 · 1:30 PM - 3:10 PMHeating and cooling energy consumption is primarily driven by heat losses and gains through the building envelope. Explore the basic concepts of heat transfer using real examples and their consequences for energy use in a home. Examine the basic factors to be considered when analyzing utility bills, including separating heating and cooling loads from the baseload.
By attending this session, participants will
1. Understand the basic principles that lead to energy usage for heating and cooling in a home
2. Determine how to distinguish heating / cooling from baseload usage in utility bill data
3. Learn how to apply this data to more accurately predict energy savings
