What is a cooling load?
Cooling load is a calculation determining the amount of heat that needs to be removed from the structure to keep the temperature consistent inside. It is one of the things considered during the design phase for the building or heating and cooling system, along with heating, which is to determine how much thermal energy it is necessary to add to become stable. The aim is to create a structure with maximum efficiency that will reduce the costs associated with heating and cooling.
Heat is due to a number of factors. One of the point of view is the temperature measured directly compared to the temperature and humidity together. High humidity can cause low temperatures to seem higher and the building in humid conditions will have a higher cooling load because to make the passenger room comfortable. Moisture also plays a role in heating.
People, equipment and processes inside the structure can generate heat as well as humidity and affects cooling loads. Buildings are not static spaces and their use is threesEBA to take into account when evaluating the needs of heating and cooling. Likewise, the buildings themselves can contribute to the capture or release of thermal energy. Doors, windows and space layout can play a role in internal temperature as well as design functions such as shades, screens for partial closure of areas, etc.
When considering cooling, designers usually try to evaluate the worst scenarios. Looking at the temperature data for the region, they choose unusually high temperatures and humidity and imagine what would happen inside if everything in the building worked at the same time, with a complete complement to employees. It is designed to develop an extreme estimate for cooling loads, allowing the design of the cooling system that will be able to deal with these conditions. By designing the most intense conditions, engineers may be sure that their heating and cooling systems will not disappoint in normal use.
exportsThe heating and cooling for the structure often requires similar structural elements. Things such as better insulation can help buildings in the summer cool and at the same time keep them warm, and reflections such as layouts, can save energy similarly. This is useful in the climate where dramatic temperature fluctuations can be present, as the same general design features will solve the air conditioning control needs in hot and cold weather.
