Determine the design heating load for a residence, 30 by 100 by 10ft(height), to be located in
Windsor Locks, Connecticut (design indoor temperature is 72F and 30%RH and outdoor
temperature is 3F and 100%RH, which has an uninsulated slab on grade concrete floor (F=0.84
BtuhFft, which can be converted to volumetric flowrate in CFM
for calculating sensible and latent loads. The construction consists of
Walls: 4 in. face brick (R=0.17),?34 in. plywood sheathing (R=0.93),4 in. cellular glass
insulation (R=12.12), and 12 in. plasterboard (R=0.45)
Ceiling/roof: 3 in. lightweight concrete deck (R=0.42), built-up roofing (R=0.33),2 in. of
rigid, expanded rubber insulation (R=9.10), and a drop ceiling of 12in. acoustical tiles
(R=1.25), air gap between rubber insulation and acoustical tiles (R=1.22)
Windows: 45% of each wall is double pane, nonoperable, metal-framed glass with 14in.
air gap (U=0.69)
Doors: Two 3ft by 7ft,1.75in. thick, solid wood doors are located in each wall
(U=0.46)
All R values are in hrft2FB tu and U values are in Btuhrft2F units. R=1U.
