Question

Residential annual energy use. For a house with:

  • Air exchange rate of 0.5 h−1
  • Cp = 1000 J/kg.K
  • Density of air = 1.2 kg/m3
  • Roof area = 144 m2; opaque wall area = 96 m2; window area = 24 m2; volume = 360 m3
  • Conductivity of Uwall = 0.60 W/(m2-K); Uwin = 3.0 W/(m2-K); Uroof = 0.40 W/(m2-K)
  • Heating system efficiency of 0.85
  • Heating degree days (HDD) of 3500 K-days
  1. Calculate the Ktot for this house.
  2. Calculate the annual energy used to heat this house (in GJ).
