7. Primary Heat Transport Modes are:
1.Conduction(cwienb) (heat flow on a molecular scale. Medium
at rest or moving);
2.Convection(cwiPjb) (heat conveyed as internal thermal energy of mass
that is displaced by mean or turbulent motion);
3. Radiation(wewKiY) (heat transfer by electromagnetic waves such
as infrared or visible light).
1. Conduction Heat Transfe : Conduction heat transfer problems
relevant to buildings include:
(a)Exterior wall conduction- • transient heat transfer responding to
climatic effects, such as temperature fluctuation, solar radiation, wind
and precipitation; thermal storage ... damping and lag effect; and cold-
bridge effect (two-dimensional and non-linear heat flow path).
(b) Interior mass conduction- • heat storage in partition walls,
floor/ceiling sandwich.
(c) Conversion from heat gain/loss to cooling and heating load.
(d) Ground heat loss from slab-on-grade floor and basement walls.

Heat transfer through Conduction: Heat transfer through a
material takes place by conduction from warm to cold side. The
same process takes place in a building. Generally the thermal
conductivity of the building materials will be much lower. In solid
bodies including building components, thermal conduction takes
place when one part of the component is subjected to higher
temperature and the other part to a lower temperature condition.
Most cases of thermal conduction are usually analysed and
treated in their simplified form as one dimensional heat flow
cases, i.e. heat flow in directions other than the main direction is
neglected. Similarly, if the changes in atmospheric conditions
(inside and I or outside) are assumed to be very slow, neglecting
these changes, the process of heat transfer can be assumed to be
"Steady State Heat Transfer" in its simplified form.

25. Infiltration is described as outside air that leaks into a building structure.
These leaks could be through the building construction or through entry
doors. Infiltration heat gains are found by the following equations. These
equations are discussed more in the Psychrometrics Section
The first equation is the total heat gains using enthalpy. In this equation, the
volumetric flow rate of the infiltration or ventilation air must be known. This
value is converted and multiplied by the difference in enthalpy between the
outdoor air conditions and the indoor air conditions.
The following two equation split the total heat gain into the sensible and
latent heat loads.
Sensible Heat Gains are calculated by multiplying the CFM of the infiltrated
air by the difference in the temperatures of the indoor and outdoor air

26. How to Calculate Heat Load :
Calculating a heat load is necessary before the installation of a radiant heating system can begin,
since different types of radiant heating systems have different BTU output values.
A typical heat load calculation consists of surface heat loss calculation and heat loss due to air
infiltration. Both should be done separately for every room in the house, so having a floor plan
with dimensions of all walls, floors, ceiling, as well as doors and windows is a good place to
start.
Below is a sample 5-step manual to surface heat loss calculation:
Step 1 – Calculate Delta T (Design Temperature):
Delta T is a difference between indoor design temperature (T1) and outdoor design temperature
(T2), where indoor design temperature is typically 68-72℉ depending on your preference, and
outdoor design temperature is a typical low during the heating season. The former can be
obtained by calling your local utility company.
Assuming that T1 is 72℉ and T2 is –5℉, Delta T = 72℉ - (-5℉) = (72℉ + 5℉) = 77℉
Step 2 – Calculate surface area:
If the calculation is done for an outside wall, with windows and doors, the calculations for the
window and door heat loss should be done separately.
Wall Area = Height x Width - Door Surface - Window Surface
If, Wall Area = 8 ft x 22 ft – 24 sq ft - 14sq ft = 176 sq ft – 38 sq ft = 138 sq ft
Step 3 – Calculate U-value:
Use "Typical R-values and U-values" guide to obtain the wall R-value.
U-value = 1 / R-value
U-value = 1 / 14.3 = 0.07
Step 4 – Calculate wall surface heat loss:
Surface heat loss can be calculated using the formula below:
Surface Heat Loss = U-value x Wall Area x Delta T
If, Surface Heat Loss = 0.07 x 138 sq ft x 77 °F = 744 BTUH is
(U-value is based on assuming a 2x4 wood frame wall with 3.5" fiberglass insulation)
27. Step 5 – Calculate total wall heat loss:
Follow the steps 1 through 4 to calculate heat loss separately for windows, doors, and ceiling.
If, Door Heat Loss = 0.49 x 24sq ft x 77F = 906 BTUH
(U-value is based on assuming a solid wood door)
If, Window Heat Loss = 0.65 x 14sq ft x 77F = 701 BTUH
(U-value is based on assuming a double-panel window)
If, Ceiling Heat Loss = 0.05 x 352sq ft x 77F = 1355 BTUH
(U-value is based on assuming a 6" fiberglass insulation. Ceiling surface is 22ft x 16ft)
Now, add all the number together:
Total Wall heat loss = (Wall loss + Window Loss + Door loss + Ceiling loss)
Total Wall heat loss = 744 BTUH + 906 BTUH + 701 BTUH + 1352 BTUH = 3703 BTUH
Air infiltration rates should always be taken into consideration.
The following formula can be used to calculate heat loss for a room
due to air infiltration:
Air Infiltration Heat Loss = Room Volume x Delta T x Air Changes per Hour x 0.018
Where Room Volume = Length x Width x Height
Air Changes per Hour accounts for air leakage into the room.
For example: Air Infiltration Heat Loss = (22ft x 16ft x 8ft) x 77F x 1.2 x 0.018 = 4683 BTUH
Note: For actual calculations, contact your contractor or system designer.

28. Latent Heat Gains are calculated by multiplying the CFM of infiltrated air by
the difference in the humidity ratio of the indoor air and the outdoor air.
It is important to note that these loads
are not seen directly by the cooling coil.
These are indirect loads that occur in
each air conditioned space. Ventilation
air is seen directly at the coil and thus
this air must be cooled down to the
supply air distribution temperature
which is much lower than the room
condition air
