HEAT GAIN THROUGH SIMPLE WALL

The heat flow through the wall is calculated by the following equation:
QWALL = U A ∆T
In the equation above:
1) Q describes ‘Sensible heat flow’ that affects HVAC equipment size and energy
consumption. For overall economics and efficiency the goal is to minimize this value.
Higher Q value shall impose high first- and recurring operation costs on HVAC
system.
2) A is the area of wall, which is a function of building form. The area values are
computed from building plans and elevations drawings.
3) U-value describes the rate of heat flow through a building element. It is the
reciprocal of the R-value; U = 1/R Total, where RTotal is the total resistance of the
materials used in the construction of wall. The higher the R-value, the higher shall be
the insulating value of the material or the lower the U-value the higher shall be the
insulation value of the material.
The units of the U-value are BTU/hr ft 2 °F. A maximum value of U-factor is often set
by energy efficiency standards and is calculated from the material information shown
in building drawings. The first step in estimating the heat transfer through wall is to
determine the design heat transmission coefficient or overall thermal resistances of
the various components that make up the envelope of the space. ASHRAE
Fundamentals edition 2001, Chapter 25, or 1997 ASHRAE Fundamentals Chapter
24 provides detailed procedures and the thermal values which may be used to
calculate the thermal resistances of building walls, floors, roofs and ceilings.
3) ΔT i.e. (Ti - To) is the temperature difference between the inside design and
outdoor temperature.
