Importance of this Lecture to the Simulation of Buildings
Every building is different in many ways: Location/exterior environment Construction/building envelope Space usage/interior environment HVAC system
Thermal simulation requires information about the functions taking place inside the building and how these might add or subtract heat from the zones
Thermal simulation requires information on air leakage to and from the building to determine its effect on the building heating and cooling needs
Nothing is constant inside a building—people come and go, lights and equipment gets turned on and off, etc.—and the thermal simulation needs details on what is happening through the day and year within a building

Purpose of this Lecture
Gain an understanding of how to internal heat gains impact and space and how to specify them People, Lights, Equipment, etc. Infiltration Schedules

Schedules
In general, schedules are a way of specifying how much or many of a particular quantity is present or at what level something should be set, including: Occupancy density Occupancy activity Lighting Thermostatic controls Shading element density
6
Schedules (cont’d)
For internal gains, schedules allow us to come a little closer to the real variation of building quantities than single values

Schedules in EnergyPlus
EnergyPlus uses a hierarchy of schedule pieces to create unique schedules
DaySchedule: 24 hour period of schedule values
WeekSchedule: Consists of various DaySchedule definitions for an entire week
Schedule: Consists of various WeekSchedule definitions for an entire year
ScheduleType: Optional feature that allows for some validation and limitation of schedules (avoid mistakes)

Heat Additions from Internal Gains
Sensible vs. Latent Sensible—energy addition associated with
(dry-bulb) temperature change in zone Latent—energy addition associate with
moisture/humidity change in zoneSensible Heat Gains
Convection Thermal (Long Wavelength) Radiation Visible (Short Wavelength) Radiation
(generally lights only)

Options are ZoneAveraged, SurfaceWeighted, or AngleFactor; determines the position that MRT is calculated at (center of zone, near a surface, or at a particular point through user supplied angle factors)
Apply only to thermal comfort models, not the heat balance
17
People: Other Notes
Estimating the Number of People Based on type of space/activity See ASHRAE Standard 62 for estimates Example: 7 people/100m2 for an office setting
Estimating the Activity Level Based on activity within the zone See ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Thermal
Comfort Chapter or Nonresidential Cooling and Heating Load Calculation Procedures Chapter for estimates
Example: 115W/person for seated, light office work Estimating the Percent Radiant
Common values range from 30-40% (0.3-0.4)

Lights: Other Notes
Estimating the Input for Lighting Level Count the number and wattage of
bulbs in zone Estimate using information from:
Typically ranges from 1.0 – 2.0 W/ft2, example: 1.3 W/ft2 for office setting
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals,
Nonresidential Cooling and Heating Load Calculation Procedures Chapter

Basically, energy that does not affect the zone heat balance (vented to exterior environment)
22
Electric Equipment: Other Notes
Estimating the Input for Design Level See ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals,
Nonresidential Cooling and Heating Load Calculation Procedures Chapter for approximate levels for individual components
Note: Nameplate ratings are generally not good estimates of power consumption of electrical equipment (example—nameplates might add up to 35 W/m2 but actual consumption might only be 8W/m2 in an office setting)
23
Other Types of Equipment
Other equipment types in EnergyPlus that have same input format as Electric Equipment (just a different keyword) Gas Equipment Hot Water Equipment Steam Equipment Other Equipment
24
“Scheduled” Baseboard Heaters
Moderately controllable baseboard heaters that do not interact with the rest of the HVAC system
Keyword is “Baseboard Heat”Baseboard Heat is first priority and will
react based on outside dry-bulb temperature and input definition
Baseboard that interacts with the HVAC system and controlled based on zone temperature under the following keywords: BASEBOARD HEATER:Water:Convective BASEBOARD HEATER:Electric:Convective
25

27
Infiltration
What is it? Definition: uncontrolled or unintended
flow of outdoor air into a building due to… Cracks and other unintentional openings Normal use of exterior doors Through building materials
28
Infiltration (cont’d)
What it’s not: Exfiltration: uncontrolled flow of indoor air
out of the building, caused by “pressurizing” the building through a mechanical system (no effect on zone heat balance but effect on HVAC system)
Ventilation: purposeful opening of windows or doors to promote air exchange with the outside environment (see future lecture)
29
Infiltration: Causes
Cause: pressure differential Flow of mass from higher pressure to
lower pressure areaDriving forces:
Wind Buoyancy or “stack” effect HVAC system Note: all of these can vary based on
location within a building
30
Accounting for Infiltration Heat Gain/Loss
Difficult to estimateMore sophisticated estimates
generally take a form similar to: Q=c(p)n
Estimation based on either ACH or “crack” method See ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals,
Ventilation and Infiltration Chapter for more details
31
ACH: Air Changes per Hour
Definition: fraction of room air volume exchanged with outside air in a given hour
An ACH of 1.0 means that the entire air volume of a space is replaced with outside air each hour Heat gain/loss can be significant Effect moderated by energy storage
within the building
32
Infiltration in EnergyPlus
INFILTRATION, !- Infiltration is specified as a design level which is modified !- by a schedule fraction, temperature difference and wind speed: !- Infiltration = Idesign * Fschedule * !- (A + B*|Tzone-Todb| + C*WindSpd + D * WindSpd**2) West Wing, !- Zone Name CONSTANT, !- SCHEDULE Name (Fschedule in Equation) 0.12, !- Design Volume Flow Rate in m3/s (Idesign in Equation) 1.0, !- Constant Term Coefficient (“A” in Equation) 0.0, !- Temperature Term Coefficient (“B” in Equation) 0.0, !- Velocity Term Coefficient (“C” in Equation) 0.0; !- Velocity Squared Term Coefficient (“D” in Equation)

Summary
Schedules are a vital part of EnergyPlus input and play a role in the definition of many different components
Schedules are a hierarchy of: Day schedules Week schedules Schedules
Scheduled heat gains/losses such as People, Lights, Equipment, Infiltration, etc. can have a significant impact on conditions within a zone and must be taken into account
