Abstract
Currently, the air-conditioning load is calculated for transmission heat flow from the wall surfaces to indoor air because the air-conditioning load is defined for the heat flow that it should supply indoor air with to keep a fixed room temperature. Even if the air-conditioning load calculated based on this definition is removed precisely, the room temperature become constant, but the comfort of the resident is affected by the climatic condition and will change theoretically. The present writer showed a paper on air-conditioning load calculation method considering thermal sensation of the resident to solve this problem. In the new air-conditioning load calculation method, in order to maintain PMV of a certain place at a preset value, the heat flow which should be removed from indoor air or the wall surfaces is defined as air-conditioning load. Until now, the algorithm of this new load calculation method was explained. However the influence on the air-conditioning load of building insulation specifications, resident position and air conditioning system was not examined in detail. This paper analyzes influence of insulation specifications, resident location and air conditioning system on load calculated using the new calculation method.
