Title

Method For Classifying Walls Into Thermally Similar Groups.

Abstract

The ASHRAE Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) Method is an effective means for accounting for the cooling load in a building at a particular time resulting from the time variation in outdoor air temperature and direct and reflected solar radiation on opaque building surfaces. This method places walls and roofs into categorical groups and provides tabular data which when applied as a function of latitude and time account for the heat transmission through structures under the combined influence of solar radiation and convective heat transfer. Although the modification to the ASHRAE method described in this paper may equally be applied to roofs and ceiling configurations, this paper is limited to examining the transient combined effects of solar radiation and convective heat transfer through sunlit walls.
