Estimated time for maximum cooling load:
The wall load has maximum at 1 pm. Thus the time of maximum load is most likely to be at
5 p.m.
INFILTRATION
Assume a wind velocity of 12 kmp
We have p = 0.00 47x (12)2 = 0.0678 cmm H20
No of doors = 1
Area of single door = (2.13) (0.76) = 1.6188m2
1door * 1.9813Cmm/door
= 1.9813*1.6188 = 3.20cmm
Infiltration for window = 2(1.67+0.9144)
= 5.168m
Infiltration rate for window = 2.5m3/h/m crack
Infiltration for window =5.168 * 2.5/60cmm/m
= 0.21cmm
Total Infiltration = 3.41cmm
Wall area (exposed wall)
Area of West wall
= (0.45) (3.35)
