9 Factors affecting the heating energy need of the building Building characteristics: Heat losses realized via the transmission, convection and ventilation (if any heat recovery) and thermal capacity. Characteristics of heating system: Duration of responding to the changes in the heating energy need by especially the control systems and heating system. Internal climate conditions: Temperature value that the ones using the building want, changes in these temperature changes at the different sections of the building and the different times of the day. External climate conditions: External air temperature, direction and magnitude of the prevailing wind. 9

10 Factors affecting the heating energy need of the building Internal heat gain resources: Various devices and people expanding heat to the environment and used with the aims of internal heat resources having contribution to the heating, food cooking, obtaining hot water, illumination other than the heating system. Solar energy: Solar energy amount directly reaching to the heated place from the transparent building materials such as window. In the calculation method mentioned in this standard, the heat losses realized via the transmission, convection and ventilation and the internal heat gains and the solar energy gains have been considered. 10

11 Heat Insulation Project BURSA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (BTU) -Heat insulation projects are prepared according to the calculation methods given in TS Calculated -results must not be bigger than the limit values. -A heat insulation project must contain following informations; 1. Heat losses, heat gains, ratio of gain/loss, gain factor, monthly and annual heating energy demand values should be given according to TS 825 and they should be presented tabular. In addition, it should be shown that calculated annual heating energy demand is bigger than the limit value. 11

12 Heat Insulation Project BURSA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (BTU) 2. Glass type which used in windows and case type, areas of windows for each direction and heat transmission coefficients should be indicated. 3. Ventilation type should be specified. 4. Amount of condensing which occurs at the surfaces, should be compared with the standard values given by TS 825 regulation. 5. Structural elements located at outside of building such as colon, beam must be isolated. 6. While heating energy calculations are performed for attached buildings, the areas which contains the attached walls, should be evaluated as a inside wall. 12

13 An Example of Heat Insulation Project Calculate the annual heating energy need for the following building and determine the insulation thickness is suitable or not? 12 m 20 m 8 m Prof.Dr. Yusuf Ali KARA Res.Asst. Semih AKIN 13

14 In order to calculate the annual heating energy demand, following steps should be followed. 1. Annual heating energy demand per volume of building should be calculated Q. 2. Restricted heat energy demand per volume of building should be calculated Q. 3. Finally, Q and Q are compared. If Q < Q then, insulation thickness is suitable otherwise insulation thickness is not feasible. 14

19 3. Specific Heat Loss of Building (H) In case there is 1 K temperature difference between the internal and external environments, it is the heat energy amount lost in the unit time via ventilation and transmission from the external shell of the building. Its unit is «Watt/Kelvin». H = H i + H h H i : Heat loss realized via the transmission and convection (W/K) H h : Heat loss realized via the ventilation (W/K) 19

27 Example-2 By taking a residence built as two floors load-bearing construction having width of 9 m, length of 10 m and height to 5.5 m from exterior to exterior and being located in the 3rd degree day region, calculate the heating energy need for January? The thickness of insulation material which is λ = 0,035 W/mK from the external side on the brick and reinforced concrete on the walls is 5 cm. The windows are multi glazing glass. The thickness of insulation material which is λ = 0,040 W/mK on the ceiling is 12 cm. On the flooring, the thickness of insulation material which is λ = 0,030 W/mK is 6 cm. 27

30 Heat Loss by transmission and convection (H i ) H i = H i = W/ K Heat Loss by ventilation (H h ) V h = 0.8 V brüt = = 396 m 3 n h = 0.8 H h = = W/ K H = H i + H h H = = W/ K 30

31 Heat Gains Monthly Average Heat Energy Gain Φ i,ay As the building will be used as residence, the internal heat gains can be taken as 5 W/m 2. Φ i,ay = A n 5 = = 792 W Monthly Average Solar Energy Gain Φ g,ay For the ghosting factor to be used during the calculation of the solar energy gains, by considering that the building has less than 3 storeys and its surroundings are open, the value of r i,ay = 0,8 is selected (Chart 5). Prof.Dr. Yusuf Ali KARA Res.Asst. Semih AKIN 31

32 As in the window system, the multi glazing glass has been used, the value of g has taken as 0,75 (Chart 6). In this example; g,ay = = A i values, namely the total window areas for all directions are calculated. In the building selected as an example, the below given window area have been calculated. A güney = 8 m 2 A kuzey = 4 m 2 A doğu = 4 m 2 A batı = 4 m 2 I i,ay values are taken from the Annex C for each month. To be an example for the month of January, the monthly solar radiation intensity values obtained from the Annex C are as follows. I güney,ocak = 72 W/ m 2 I kuzey,ocak = 26 W/ m 2 I batı,doğu,ocak = 43 W/ m 2 32

33 Φ g,ay = r i,ay g i,ay I i,ay A i Φ g,ay = Φ g,ay = 492 W To calculate the gain usage factor, firstly the KKO ocak is calculated according to the following equation KKO ay = Φ g,ay + Φ i,ay / H T i,ay T d,ay KKO ay = / ( 0.3) =0.23 As the building will be used as residence T i,ocak, is taken as 19 from the Annex B.1. T d,ocak is taken from the Annex B.2. This value for the third degree day regions is -0,3. 33

34 The gain usage factor η ocak is calculated as follows according to the equation η ay = 1 e 1/KKO m η ocak = 1 e = 0.99 In this case, the heat gains for the month of January are found as follows Q ay = H T i,ay T D,ay η ay (Φ i,ay + Φ g,ay ) t Q ocak = ( 0.3) Q ocak = kj Prof.Dr. Yusuf Ali KARA Res.Asst.
