Chapter 1: Introduction
Relaxation is a great way to help with stress management. It isn’t just about peace of mind
or enjoying a hobby, thus it’s a process that decreases the effects of stress on a person’s mind and
body. Relaxation can help a person cope with everyday stress and with stress related to various health
problems and physical exhausted. People always want to rest on typical days especially on special
occasion, events or even just for summer vacation. People book either a hotel just to spend time with
their love ones.
Hotel is a Five Star Class hotel located at Pasay City. This study aims to design an HVAC
SYSTEMS in which is asked to calculate the heat gain loads through walls, roof, ceiling and door
and also to calculate the exfiltration load which leads to calculate the grand total heat load of the
room. We also need to calculate internal loads. After the calculations, the design also needs to
figure out what desired equipment to be used to satisfy the conditions.
We also need to specify the economic analysis and environmental considerations of this
design.

43. Ventilation is the process of supplying or removing air, by natural or mechanical means to
or from any space such as air may or may not have been conditioned.
The first step of designing an HVAC system is by load calculations. Heating and cooling loads is the
measurement of energy needed to be added or removed from the conditioned space in order to meet.
• To identify the appropriate size and type of the equipment used for the HVAC system of the
conditioned space.
• To help achieve optimal building performance wherein it utilize the construction of the building
itself.
• To avoid any possible iterations to the conditioned space.
• To administer sufficient data for the best possible load reduction.
• To help determine analysis of partial loads as required for system design operation and control.
Sensible Cooling Load refers to the dry bulb temperature of the conditioned space. It
influences directly the heat to space that results to an increase in space temperature. The following
are the factors that influence sensible cooling load:
• Glass windows and doors
• Sunlight that passes through windows and other transparent surfaces
• Exterior walls
• Partitions
• Ceilings
• Roofs
• Floors over an open crawl space
• Air infiltrations from cracks, windows and doors
• People
• Operating equipment and appliances
• Lights
Latent Cooling Load refers to the wet bulb temperature of the conditioned space or the heat
contained in water vapor. Latent heat does not cause temperature rise but is considered to be load on
the cooling equipment. This is a type of cooling load that should be removed in order to condense
the moisture out of the air. The following factors influence the latent cooling load:
• People
• Equipment and appliances
• Air infiltration from cracks, windows and doors.
The dry bulb temperature and the relative humidity at the air are needed to be maintained
within the room for the normal breathing of the occupants. Inline to this design, the team design a
HVAC system for a hotel in low dry bulb temperature and high relative humidity which causes
relaxation to occupants.
Hotels, as mention earlier are commonly maintained at a temperature of 70 degrees
Farenheight or above with a humidity of around 50%. With this statement, the indoor design
condition to be maintained inside the room will be:
The orientation of the Hotel, facing 12-degree north latitude. The Philippines is located near the
equator, that causes the areas near the equator to receive high amounts of sunlight due to the inclination of
the earth and so, the summer ambient resulting to reach temperature of its location to 96oF DB and 81oF
WB. The Hotel has an inside room design of a restaurant by 74oF DB and 50% RH, an office and lobbies
by 78oF DB and 55% RH, hotel rooms at 70oF DB and 50% RH. The glass works of this hotel uses regular
glasses with a size of 1.3m x 1.65m for glass windows, and 0.9m x 2.2m for glass doors. For outside walls,
they used hollow concrete blocks, sand and gravel aggregate, granite finishing 1cm thick. For its roof,
concrete slab 6 inches thick, 2 inches fibre-board insulation, and suspended acoustic tile ceiling were used
for its construction. Acoustic tile glued 3/4 inches thick, medium density fibre-board, aluminum linear
ceiling, and also suspended acoustic tile ceiling for the ceiling of restaurant, offices, lobbies, and hotel
rooms. For its partition, they used hollow concrete block 8 inches thick and gypsum board 1/4 inches thick.
And lastly for floor’s floor to floor height, and floor to ceiling height are floor tile 8 inches thick, and sand
aggregate.

INTRODUCTION
Heat can only be transferred by conduction or radiation, from one body to another from
hottest to coldest for example, how does a heat pass through the wall? It doesn’t directly
pass through it. If the heat is falling in a wall it will heat the wall up but the other side is at
a low temperature, the other side of the wall transfers heat to the cold side of the wall by
what we call conduction. If the heat is falling on the wall it will eventually heats up the
other side but, slowly. This is how a heat passes through the wall from one side to another.
While we have what we call solar heat gains it is a radiation from the sun that passes
through a window of a home or even a room in your window. We will show here how to
calculate heat gains using the formulas we provided.

These are also sometimes called core loads or internal gains. Lighting and most
equipment loads are sensible heat, while the metabolic heat generated by people
bodies is a combination of sensible and latent loads. Some buildings or spaces are
dominated by less common internal sources of sensible and latent internal loads such
as large kitchens, swimming pools and locker rooms and health clubs or industrial

Introduction
Air infiltration is the movement of the air into building whereas exfiltration is the movement if air
out of the building. Air leakage into building interiors has a considerable impact on the energy
demand of the building. This means that controlling how air moves into and out of the buildings
is a big part of hose energy efficiency can be improved for buildings.
Air flows into or out of the building because of pressure differences between the internal and
external environments of the building. These pressure differences can be caused by gusting
winds or differences in internal and external temperatures. The air flow through various
openings in the building envelope. These vary from large openings such as doors and windows
to small cracks and crevices caused by improper installations of envelope components.
Since this is a hotel and for some time later when the door is opened, the air inside will
infiltrate/exfiltrate then there will be a change of air inside for the occupants.
Ventilation
Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any
space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen
replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon
dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture,
introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the
interior air.
Infiltration
Infiltration is the unintentional or accidental introduction of outside air into a building, typically
through cracks in the building envelope and through use of doors for passage. Infiltration is
sometimes called air leakage. The leakage of room air out of a building, intentionally or not, is
called exfiltration. Infiltration is caused by wind, negative pressurization of the building, and by
air buoyancy forces known commonly as the stack effect.

CHAPTER 5: SYSTEM
HEAT GAIN
INTRODUCTION
Heat gain and loss can be predicted using generally accepted engineering principles. Heat
gain and loss is generally measured in BTU’ or British Thermal Units per hour.
It is the function of a cooling system to remove unwanted heat from a structure and relocate it
to the outside. This heat exchange is accomplished by the use of the refrigeration cycle as
performed by your air-conditioning system. Since it is the job of the cooling system to remove
heat, a cooling system’
capacity can be measured in BTU’ per hour. In other words, how many British Thermal Units of heat can
be moved from one place to another in one hour.
The function of the heating system is to replace heat lost through the heat transfer process.
Since it is
the job of the heating system to add heat, a heating system’ capacity can be measured in BTU’ per hour.
In other words, how many British Thermal Units of heat can be added to a structure in one hour.
Both systems combined should be referred to as a comfort system. However, a comfort system
is made up of more than just properly sized equipment. It includes proper supply air ducting to
deliver the proper amount of warm or cool air. It also includes a return air system that helps
produce adequate circulation. There are other functions that this comfort system should serve.
They include air circulation, air filtration, and humidity control.
CHAPTER 6:
PSYCHOMETRICS
INTRODUCTION:
Psychrometric chart is one of the chart that is commonly used in solving HVAC problems. The
properties of air such as wet bulb temperature, dry bulb temperature, dew point
temperature, relative humidity, humidity ratio, specific enthalphy and specific volume
are shown on this chart.
It is used to determine how these properties vary as the amount of moisture in the air
changes. The chart is based on the standard atmospheric pressure of 76mm Hg or
1.01325 bar.
Wet Bulb Temperature is the temperature of evaporation of which the air would
become saturated if moisture were added to it without the addition or substraction of
heat. These lines are oblique lines on the chart. SI unit is °Celcius. Other unit used is
°Fahrenheit.
Dew Point Temperature is the temperature of saturation of a given atmospheric
pressure. Here, the moisture began to condense in the form of dew. SI unit is °Celcius.
Other unit used is
°Fahrenheit.
Relative Humidity is the ratio of the absolute humidity to the maximum possible
density of water vapor in the air at the same pressure and temperature. It has no unit
and is the hyperbolic lines that are shown in intervals of 10%. The saturation curve is
at 100% RH, while dry air is at 0% RH.
Humidity Ratio is the weight of water in a sample of air compared to the weight of the
same sample of air without any moisture in it. It is measured in grams of water/kg of dry
air, or grains of water/pound of air. 1 pound is equal to 7,000 grains.
Specific Enthalphy is the total energy of the sample of dry air and water vapor. These
are oblique diagonal lines that are drawn from left to right and are parallel to one other.
Take note that these lines are not parallel to the wet bulb temperature lines though they
may look so. The SI unit is joules/kg of air or BTU/pound of dry air.
Specific Volume is the volume of dry air and water vapor occupied by one unit of mass
of dry air. The SI units are cubic meters per kilogram of dry air; other units are cubic feet
per pound of dry air.

4. Provide attic or roof ventilation. Install continuous soffit and ridge vents
to prevent high temperatures from building up in unheated attics—which will
increase heat flow through the insulation. Operable windows in unheated
attic spaces should also be considered. With cathedral ceilings (insulated
roofs), provide soffit and ridge vents and a continuous air space under the
roof sheathing for ventilation.
5. Site the building carefully. Orient the building so as to minimize heat
gain through east- and west-facing windows and all skylights, yet provide
for passive- solar heating during the winter and year-round daylighting. Try
to take advantage of existing trees on the building site.
