Abstract

This research proposal aims to investigate the factors influencing cooling loads estimation. Understanding in cooling loads estimation is crucial for creating healthy, efficient, and sustainable indoor spaces, as it directly affects occupant well-being, productivity, and overall satisfaction. The building layouts and human activity level is a crucial factor in ensuring the well-being of occupants in the building. An accurate cooling loads estimation improves the building HVAC system, which is reduce the overall energy consumption and occupants thermal comfort is comfortably. Cooling load is affected by a variety of factors, including the weather properties, spaces type, human activity level, and material insulation. To ensure an accurate cooling load, the data of building should includes of proper ventilation location , material, and air conditioning systems, as well as insulation to regulate temperature and air velocity. Proper scalling the building floor plan in Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) of these software should also be carried out to ensure the perfect estimation in both cooling load and energy consumption. The main advantage of the generic analytical approach presented in this thesis is its accuracy and applicability in estimating building needs of different sizes HVAC system, configuration space types and supply cooling zones. By studying the relationship between different building layout through human activity level and factors such as productivity, concentration, and well-being, the research will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the human-centered design of indoor environments. This will provide insights into the potential benefits of improved thermal comfort in terms of occupant satisfaction and overall performance HVAC system. In conclusion, the Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) estimation software could be developed into a useful tool for HVAC insdustries and engineers to evaluate of cooling loads and energy consumption.
