Cooling and heating loads in residential buildings in Kuwait
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to estimate cooling load calculations, and will be presented for a one story villa with a basement, which is located in Kuwait (Adan), under Kuwait’s design conditions at 3:00 Pm solar time. Design conditions were based on ASHRAE’s fundamental books[1]. For each room, or area in the house, total conduction, solar radiation and internal thermal energies ether it is sensible or latent have been calculated, conduction heat transfer occur in walls, glasses, doors, partitions and ceiling, where the solar heat transfer occur in glasses, however, the internal loads occur due to many reasons such as, people, lights and equipment, the total cooling load for solar, conduction and internal loads summed up to yield the total energy gained by the villa from these total energy gained the requirement air conditioning capacity is founded.
