COMPUTATION OF SENSIBLE COOLING LOAD FROM
INFILTRATION/VENTILATION
Given Data:
 Single Family Residence
 Located at Luzon Island, Philippines
 Month of May (Hottest month in the Philippines)
 Design dry bulb temperature for the hottest month is 35.3 ⁰C
 DB range for the hottest month is 5.3 ⁰C or 9.64 ⁰F (Low)
 Inside Desired Temperature Condition = 20 ⁰C

Given:
Area of the room = 4 m x 3.90 m = 15.60 m2
Height of the room = 2.7439 m
ACH = 0.35
Solution:
q infil(Master Suite Room)=0.33 ∙ ACH ∙ V ∙ △ T
2
q infil ( Master Suite Room )=( 0.33 ) ( 0.35 ) (15.60 m x 2.7439 m) (35.3−20 ) ⁰ C
q infil ( Master Suite Room )=75.6426 W
II. MASTER’S BATHROOM (T(Desired) = 20⁰C)

Given:
Area of the room = 2 m x 3.60 m = 7.2 m2
Height of the room = 2.7439 m
ACH = 0.35
Solution:
q infil ( Master ' s Bathroom )=0.33 ∙ ACH ∙V ∙ △ T
2
q infil ( Master ' s Bathroom )=( 0.33 ) ( 0.35 ) (7.2 m x 2.7439 m) ( 35.3−20 ) ⁰ C
q infil ( Master ' s Bathroom )=34.9120W

Given:
Area of the room = 4 m x 3.90 m = 15.6 m2
Height of the room = 2.7439 m
 ACH = 0.35
Solution:
q infil ( Bedroom 2)=0.33∙ ACH ∙V ∙ △ T

q infil ( Bedroom 2)=( 0.33 )( 0.35 )(15.6 m2 x 2.7439 m) ( 35.3−20 ) ⁰ C

q infil ( Bedroom 2)=75.6426 W

Sensible Cooling Load from infiltration/ventilation

-solve the volume of the room/space

-use the formula for qinfil (see module page 21)
-Assume your ACH based on your building construction

Example: an ACH of 0.35 assuming tight, energy-efficient

construction
-change in T depends on the outside design condition and your inside design
condition
-do the computation for all spaces/room
