Seminar 09 -- Load Calculations for the ASHRAE Headquarters Building: The Transition to the Heat Balance Method

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Many mechanical design engineers calculate peak cooling and heating loads using traditional methods: Radiant Time Series, Transfer Functions, CLTD. A current trend is the transition to tools using the ASHRAE Heat Balance (HB) Method. To support this transition, this seminar explains key issues practitioners must be aware of for successful use of the HB method, including quality control review.
