Developing The Prediction Program of Heat and Cooling Loads by Modified Bin Methods

It is a time since sustainable architecture become a main issue of design concept in 21C. However, it is necessary to develope the tool estimating energy loads and uses in our architectural conditions for energy saving design. This study aims to develope the E-Load program to predict heat and cooling loads of houses. The program is developed by modified bin methods derived from ASHRAE TC 4.7. It consists of 4 divisions such as files, data inputs, energy load estimations and output options. The main processes of energy load estimations are based on ASHRAE fundamentals. The developed E-Load program is a easy and valid tool to predict heat and cooling loads of buildings.
