Hourly variation of Total Cooling Load
CONCLUSION
In the present research work we have developed a program that is capable of computing the sensible and latent
cooling loads of a building having single zone taking all the influential factors in to consideration.
1.) We have used FDM which replaces the CTF method which is mostly used by other commercial softwares.
Finite Difference Method gives the temperature distribution across the wall and this is one special advantage
of it over Conduction Transfer Function method.
2.) We have also analysed infiltration effects deeply and this makes it more appropriate for cooling load
estimation of structures that need precision analysis like cold rooms.
3.) One can also use this research work for cooling load estimation of other single zone structures like
Auditorium buildings.
4.) Values obtained can also be taken for modifying the building orientation and construction material
