Heat Loss & Gain Calculations 1

How Heat Moves in Homes Conduction is the transfer of heat through solid objects, such as the ceilings, walls, and floors of a home. Insulation (and multiple layers of glass in windows) reduces conduction losses. The direction of heat flow is from hot to cold, so this illustration shows conduction from a warm interior to a cooler outdoors. 2

Conduction Heat Loss High Temperature Low Temperature As Temperature Differences Increase, Heat Loss Increases 4

Conduction Heat Loss High Temperature Low Temperature As Resistance Increases, Heat Loss Decreases 6

How Heat Moves in Homes Convection is the flow of heat by currents of air. Air currents are caused by pressure differences, stirring fans, and air density changes as it heats and cools. As air becomes heated, it becomes less dense and rises; as air cools, it becomes more dense and sinks. 8

How Heat Moves in Homes Radiation is the movement of energy in waves from warm to cooler objects across empty spaces, such as radiant heat traveling from the inner panes of glass to outer panes in double- glazed windows in winter. 21

Equations - Conduction q = A *  T R – where q = heat flow, Btu/hr A = area, ft 2 R = resistance, ft 2 -hr- ° F/Btu  T = temperature differential, ° F Higher temperature – Lower temperature 22

Where Do You Get R? Table of R-values for various materials Some values are for entire thickness – Brick – Plywood – Gypsum Board Some values are per inch of thickness – Wood (framing) – Insulation 23

How do R-values Add? 24 R T = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 R 1 R 2 R 3

How do R-values Add? - Example 25 R T for a Structurally Insulated Panel (SIP) ½ inch plywood = inch Rigid Foam Center = 4 per inch = ½ inch plywood = 1.25 R T = 18.50

Equations - Conduction q = U * A *  T – where q = heat flow, Btu/hr A = area, ft 2 U = conductance, Btu/ft 2 -hr- ° F  T = temperature differential, ° F 26

Where does U come from? – Table values How do they add? 1 = U T U 1 U 2 Commonly provided for the entire assembly 27 Equations - Conduction

U-factor A U-factor is used to describe an area that is composed of several materials. Example: Window U-factor includes the glass, frame, and sash. 28

Relationship Between R and U q = U * A *  T q = A*  T R U * A *  T = A *  T R U * A *  T = A *  T R U = 1 R 29

Air Leakage - General Equation q = m * C p *  T – where q = heat flow, Btu/hr m = mass flow of air, lbs/hr C p = specific heat of air, 0.24 Btu/lbs - ° F  T = temperature differential, ° F 30

Air Leakage - General Equation q = m * C p *  T – where does m come from? m = mass flow of air, lbs/hr Under normal conditions in a home: Density of Air = 13.5 ft 3 per lb air Cubic Feet of Air = m

Air Leakage For Ducts q = 1.08 * cfm *  T (ducts) – where cfm = duct leakage rate to the outside – where does the 1.08 come from? cfm * 0.24 * 60 min/hr = cfm * ft³/lb air 32

Air Leakage for an Entire House q = 0.018* ft³/hr *  T – where ft³/hr = air leakage rate for the entire house Where does the come from? ft³/hr * 0.24 = ft³/hr * ft³/lb air ft 3 /hr = ACHnat * Volume (ft 3 ) – where ACHnat = Natural Air Changes per hour Volume = volume of the conditioned space q = 0.018* ACHnat * Volume (ft 3 ) *  T 33
