The most suitable solution for the year round heating and cooling of
a hotel room is a solit unit.
The outside air design temperature for calculating the heating load
for a given application is selected to be the minimum outdoor
re of the total hours during winter season.
The wind chill temperature expresses the combined effect of outdoor
temperature and wind speed on human comfort.
Underfloor heating system is characterized by its high cost and fast
a
The higher the depth of the wall below grade, the higher its overall
heat transfer coefficient.

lf the return air is treated to the rech the supply conditions without
entering fresh air, then the cooling coil and the cooling load of the

When the occupant number is large, such as theater, then the CLFocc.

ln the calculation of the heating load, the heat gains due to

occupants, lights, applicances and solar effect are subtracted from

Queslio_n 1. [5 pointsl
Fifty employees at a telecomunictions center are working in an open space,
The space is maintained at 20 "C dry bulb temperature and 50% RH.
The office is open from 8:00 am till 1:00 pm when employees leave for a lunch break.
Calculate the following:
a. Total heat gain rate due to occupants at 10:00 am.
b. Total and latent heating loads due to ventilation if the outside fresh air is
available at 5 "C dry bulb temperature and 60% RH"

Question 2. [4 oointsl A solid wall consists of firm stone of 30 mm thickness, concrete

of 100 mm thickness (p = 2300 kg/m'), polysteren layer of unkown thickness, cement
bricks with air gaps of 70 mm thickness (k= 0.90 Wm.K), cement plaster of Z0 mm
thickness ( k=1.25 Wm.K). if the wall is to satisfythe Jordanian code with an overall
heat transfer coefficient of 0.57 $m^2.K, how much should be the insulation thikness?
