ETTV Equation
ETTV Equation
Where more than one type of material and/or fenestration is used:
ETTV Equation
ETTV of the whole building envelope is obtained by taking the weighted
average of individual walls at different orientations.
Computation of ETTV
First step: calculation of different areas with different material
Second step: computation of U-value for different types of building
envelope
Third step: find out the shading coefficient (SC) for different types of glass
Forth step: find out the correction factors (CF) for solar heat gain through
fenestration in different orientation
Last step: use ETTV equation to calculate the total ETTV

ETTV Calculation
General Equation:
ETTV=1/Ao [12(Aw x Uw )+3.4(Af xUf )+211xCF(Af xSC)]
South faade(CF=0.83)
ETTVs
=1/211.5[12(49.5x2.71)+3.4(162x5.82)+211x0.83(162x0.61)=104.59W/m2
East facade (CF =1.13)
ETTVe
=1/117.5[12x(27.5x2.71)+3.4(90x5.82)+211x1.13x(90x0.61)=134.17W/m2
North faade(CF=0.80)
ETTVn =1/211.5[12x(180x2.99+31.5x2.71)=35.38W/m2
ETTV Calculation
West faade
ETTVw = 1/117.5[12x(100x2.99+17.5x2.71)]= 35.38W/m2
Overall for Whole Building
ETTV= (104.57x211.5+ 134.17x 117.5+ 35.38x
211.5+35.38x117.5)/(211.5+117.5+ 211.5+117.5)
= 75.26W/m2

ETTV calculation
General equation:
ETTV=1/Ao [12(Aw * Uw )+3.4(Af *Uf )+211*CF(Af *SC)]
1. South-west faade(CF=1.06)
ETTVW=1/70[12(10*2.71)+3.4(60*5.83)+211*1.06(60*0.7)]=155.
83w/m2
2. West-north faade
ETTVN=1/100[12(30*2.71+70*2.67)]=32.18w/m2
ETTV calculation
3. North-east faade(CF=0.97)
ETTVE=1/70[12(10*2.71+20*2.67)+3.4(40*3.448)+211*0.97(40*
0.5)]=78.98w/m2
4. East-south faade
ETTVS=1/100[(12(30*2.72+70*2.67)]=32.18w/m2
Total ETTV:
ETTVT=(155.83*70+32.18*100+78.98*70+32.18*100)/(70+100+
70+100) = 67.27w/m2
Sensitivity Analysis
ETTV can be calculated by summing up three basic components of heat
gain through building envelope. These are
Heat conduction through opaque walls
Heat conduction through transparent window
Solar radiation through transparent window
Sensitivity Analysis
Heat conduction through opaque walls and
transparent windows
Thermal transmittance ( U- value)
The quantity of heat that flows through a unit area of a building
section under steady state conditions in unit time per unit
temperature difference of the air on either side of the section
The smaller value of thermal transmittance of the material of being
used, the smaller amount of heat will be transmitted.
Sensitivity Analysis
Heat conduction through opaque walls and
transparent windows
Surface air film resistance ( Faade orientation and inclination)
The transfer of heat to and from a surface of a body through air is
reduced by the presence of a thin layer of relatively motionless air at
the surface of the body
Surface air film resistance is affected by wind velocity and therefore
different resistance values for outside and inside air films are given.
If you want to increase the thermal resistance, then you should use
high emissive surface and try to reduce the slope of the roof as much
as possible.
Sensitivity Analysis
Heat conduction through
opaque walls and transparent
windows
Air space resistance
Air is a relatively poor conductor of heat.
The concept is the same as the air film
resistance
In addition, reflective material can be
inserted in an air space to increases the
thermal resistance of the air space.
Sensitivity Analysis
Solar Radiation through transparent window.
Shading coefficient of fenestration (SC)
The ratio of solar hear gain through the fenestration system having
combination of glazing and shading device to the solar heat gain
through an unshaded 3mm clear glass.
The factors affecting SC are
Inter block shading
Direct shading
Diffused shading
Reduced surface temperature
Sensitivity Analysis
Solar Radiation through transparent
window
Shading coefficient of fenestration (SC)
Inter block shading
Neighboring buildings overshadowing another
This will inadvertently affect the heat gains through
faade
Singapores ETTV methodology does not consider this
factor
Because assumption changes when the adjacent building
changes

The sky factor was used as a benchmark figure
Codes standard procedures ignores this
Reduced conduction heat gain
Relates to heat gain through the opaque building envelope
due to direct and diffused shading
