This document provides information and instructions for calculating the required cooling load of the Superb Supermarket located in Kuwait City, Kuwait. It includes a sketch of the supermarket layout and details on the building construction, occupancy, lighting, ventilation, and operating hours. The instructions note that the peak cooling load will occur at 3 PM due to the roof and west-facing glass wall. Students are asked to calculate individual heat gain components, ventilation loads, and supply air conditions to determine the total required cooling load.

Assignment # 1
Due: Sunday 11/1/2011
Semester: Fall/2021
Course # 228/01

The Superb Supermarket, shown in Figure below is located in Kuwait, Kuwait city. It is a
one-story building with a basement used for storage. Construction and conditions are as
follows:
 Roof is 4 in. heavy weight concrete slab, 2 in. insulation (R-11), gypsum board
ceiling, U = BTU/hr-ft²-F
 Floor is 4 in. concrete slab, U= 0.35 BTU/hr-ft²-F
 Walls are 4 in. face brick, 4 in. common brick, 2 in. insulation, ½ in. gypsum
wallboard, U = BTU/hr-ft²-F
 Front window is ¼ in. single heat absorbing glass, 10 ft high, aluminum frame, not
shaded.
 Doors are ¼ in. single clear glass, aluminum frame,
 Receiving door is 1½ in. steel with urethane core
 Occupancy is 60 people
 Construction is medium (M) weight
 Lighting is 3 watts per square foot of floor area, florescent fixtures,
 Outdoor ventilation rate as per Table 6.17,
 Store is open from 10 AM to 8 PM (9 AM to 7 PM Standard Time)
Determine the required cooling load?

Note:
1. Indoor design conditions are 78 F DB, 50% RH and humidity ratio of 72 gr
w./lbd.a. The outdoor design conditions are 115 F DB 82 WB and humidity
ratios of 112 gr w./lbd.a. (Table A.9)

2. Latitude is 40ºN. Daily temperature range is 20 F.

3. Dimensions are shown on the plan.

4. Areas are calculated and recorded on the form.

5. The building has only one room. The construction and orientation indicates that
the roof and West glass will determine the peak load time. Peak glass load is in
20/July. Peak CLF for the glass is at 3 PM. Peak CLTD for the roof is at 3 PM.
Roof is No. 9. Therefore the peak load time is 3 PM.

6. Individual heat gains items are calculated and recorded on the form. Students
should see if they obtain the same values from the appropriate tables. The
basement is assumed to be at the outside temperature. Walls are in Group B. No
storage effect for people or lighting is taken because the system is shut down
when the store closes, and does not operate until shortly before the store opens.
No infiltration is included. Ventilation air is assumed to prevent any significant
infiltration, because the doors are not used heavily.

The supply duct is exposed in the store, therefore heat gain and leakage are useful
cooling and do not add to the load.

7. Ventilation loads are calculated and shown on the form. Return air fan gain is
negligible, and there is no pump. A draw-through unit will be used, and it is
assumed the fan gain is 3%.

8. The procedure for finding the supply air conditions will be explained.
