Abstract
Air-conditioned room almost adjoin non-air-conditioning zone. Generally, in thermal load calculation, we model only an air-conditioned room. Therefore, we can not calculate the thermal influence of a non-air-conditioning space. Hence, we propose the "exterior wall replacement method for a non-air-conditioning zone" as a new algorithm that takes into consideration the thermal influence of a non-air-conditioning space. We verify the accuracy of the exterior wall replacement method for a non-air-conditioning zone in a side core office using the BEST (Building Energy Simulation Tool) which takes into consideration the thermal influence of non-air-conditioning space. It is shown that the exterior wall replacement method for a non-air-conditioning zone is effective.
