Full Description

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

This session focuses on the building heating and cooling load calculations. Two of the papers concentrate on the building envelop while the other discusses climatic data used in the load calculation process. The topic of envelope concentrates on alternate methods of improving building performance beyond the more conventional method of increasing insulation or decreasing window area. The climate discussion explores why the more traditional climate data is not consider accurate for today's building design. Each of these topics is important as they influence the overall building performance and the accuracy of design.
