Author:Osburn, LDate:Feb 2009The heating, ventilation and cooling loads of typical commercial office space can range between 30-50% of the total energy load of the building. However, this figure is highly variable due to the high variability in building design, the climate ...Read more
Author:Kumirai, T; Bole, Sheldon; Conradie, Dirk CUDate:Oct 2012A thermal simulation model was prepared for a “typical” suburban building of 120 square meters and nine different passive designs were simulated to evaluate their impact on the heating and cooling load.Read more
