Fundamentals of Heating and Cooling Loads IP Edition

You will develop an understanding of heat transfer as it applies to buildings and the various factors that must be considered when calculating the heating and cooling loads of a building. After completing the course, you should know:

• How to use a simple heat loss calculation procedure
• How to find and use local climate data
• The thermal properties of building materials
• The effects of air infiltration and ventilation
• The basic concepts and methods to determine cooling loads
• The effects of windows, walls, roofs and partitions on loads
• The basic types of internal loads
• How to use the CLTD Method
• How to use the Transfer Function Method
