MT 1 will be on Wednesday Oct. 31st, 2012 at 1830. MT 1 will include: Introduction (Chapters 1-2) Cars, planes, freight (Chapter 3,5,A, some of 15 on freight) Wind (Chapters 4, B) Heating and Cooling (Chapters 7, E)
Domestic Water Heating Heat Capacity: (CV) Amount of heat necessary to change the temperature by 1 ºC per unit volume For water CV=4100 J / liter / ºC Energy required to heat water in a bath from 10ºC to 10ºC ?
The two dominant reasons why buildingslose heat are: 1. Conduction – heat flowing directly through walls, windows and doors; 2. Ventilation – hot air trickling out through cracks, gaps, or deliberate ventilation ducts.
Conduction Loss: Related to the conduction of the wall
Ventilation Loss: The number of changesN of the air per hour, The volume V of the space in cubic meters, The heatcapacity C, The temperature difference DT between the inside and outside of the building

Total leakiness of the house: 322 W/ºC = 7.7 kWh/d/ºC The heat-loss parameter of this house (total floor area88m2) is: 3.7 W/ºC/m2 Let’s use these figures to estimate the house’s daily energyconsumptionon a cold winter’s day, and year-round.
The heat-loss parameter of this house is reduced by about 25%, from 3.7 to 2.7W/ºC/m2. • Further reduced the consumption by reducing the thermostat setting from 20 to 17ºC. 1.1W/ºC/m2required of a “sustainable” house in the new building codes
Air-exchange Once a building is really well insulated, the principal loss of heat will bethrough ventilation (air changes) rather than through conduction. Hot Air Cold Air
Air-exchange Once a building is really well insulated, the principal loss of heat will bethrough ventilation (air changes) rather than through conduction. Hot Air Cold Air Can we cool down the hot air before it leaves the house?
Exercise: Consider a 100 m2 sustainable house in İstanbul with 1.1W/ºC/m2energy consumption. Let’s use these figures to estimate the house’s daily energyconsumptionon a cold winter’s day, and year-round.
For a cold Day: DT=20ºC 1.1x20x100 = 2200 W 2200 W consumed during one day : 2.2 kWx24 h=52.8 kWh/day
For an average day: DT= ? http://weather.sg.msn.com/monthly_averages.aspx?wealocations=wc:TUXX0014&q=%C4%B0stanbul%2C+TUR+forecast:averagesm
For an average day: DT= 20-14 ºC 1.1x6x100 = 660 W 660 W consumed during one day : 0.66 kWx24 h=15.8 kWh/day
