  14. Heat Losses from buildings • Transmission Losses • Exfiltration and Infiltration

  15. Sensible Heat Gains Solar Gains Transmission gains Infiltration Latent Heat Gains Infiltration External Sources of Heat Gain to Buildings

  16. Sensible Heat Gains People Lighting Electrical Equipment Latent Heat Gains People Processes Internal Sources of Heat Gains

  17. The need to service buildings

  18. With small buildings the main problem is generally keeping them warm in winter

  19. With large buildings the main problem tends to be keeping them cool in summer

  20. In addition for the need to provide Heating and cooling, other systems also need to be provided to ensure the comfort and well being of people in buildings • Ventilation • Water • Electricity • Gas • Drainage
