Characteristics of annual thermal load of small buildings

Abstract

It is shown that the ratio of small building, 3,000 square meters or less, is large in Japan. Using the design of experiment, formulae of annual thermal load of small building were prepared. As a result, it was clarified that annual thermal load, especially heating load, of small building is larger than that of large building, that the amount of saving heating load by building design and site plan is much larger than cooling load, and that the amount in small building is larger than large building.
