ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to acknowledge Mr. Anique Azam, Mechanical Engineering
Department for his expert guidance and support. He helped us learn and encourage us to
research about a lot of new things from which we will get surely benefit in the future.
Summary:
In this Complex Engineering problem we explored a new software Hourly Analysis Program
abbreviate as HAP. By using this software we performed cooling load analysis in order to
calculate Annual cost and energy requirement for Air Conditioning of our House.

VI. Estimation of Cooling Load:
Simulate all the spaces in the designed system and report the cooling load
ZONES COOLING LOAD (TON)
Total Zone 6.7
VII. Energy Requirements and Annual Operational Cost:
Select per unit cost of electricity, simulate and report the overall energy requirement and
annual operational cost of air-conditioning system.
Energy Requirements and Annual Operational Cost
The per unit cost of electricity is approximately 35 rs which is equivalent to 0.13 USD.
Annual Operational Cost
15,883

VIII. Cost Saving Solution:
 In order to reduce the annual operating cost of the air conditioning system, we can use
certain insulations on our walls and roof.
 In our HAP Analysis we have used R-14 Board Insulation on our exterior walls and
interior roof having following properties.

After applying Insulation following results are obtained for the reduction of Annual Cost
and Annual Cooling Load Requirement:

Conclusion
After performing detailed analysis in HAP in order to calculate annual cost for the Air
Conditioning of our house we can conclude that the Annual Cost is found to be 15,883 USD.
We further found out that by applying Insulation we can decrease our Annual Cost of Air
Conditioning up to 9184 $
