A479 Air Conditioning Basics 1: Comfort, Climate & Heat Gains - London
Trainer - Steve Nicholson
This deals with establishing the design brief and determining the design heat gains.
The influence of temperature, air movement, radiation and humidity on sensations of human comfort are discussed and the effects of clothing, age, fresh air etc are considered. This leads to the choice of inside design conditions that the system has to provide. The outside climate has an influence on the performance of the system and hence this is also reviewed.
Without a knowledge of the heat gains/losses that occur in design summer and winter weather the system would not be able to provide the conditions required in the room. Hence it is essential that the internal heat gains from electric lighting, machines, computers and people are determined and the external heat gains by solar radiation through windows are calculated.
