Abstract
The following chapters will outline a method where by the annual cooling load for a specific structure can be estimated. This analysis will be limited to calculating the sensible heat load without regard to any ventilation, people, appliance or lighting load associated with the cooling load. The above limitations were made to allow the discussion herein to be centered around the one variable which is common to all structures no matter what they are used for, that being the cooling load requirements because of climatic conditions. While the following chapters will be written for a specific type of structure, the method contained herein can be utilized on other types of structures. In order to arrive at a total cooling load required for a specific structure, the person doing the computations shall have not only a knowledge of the type of structure and the climatic environment, but must have a knowledge of the potential use of the structure. In summarizing, the following chapters will propose a method for calculating the seasonable cooling load caused by the sensible heat gain of a structure. This sensible heat gain will be limited to that heat gain caused by the climatic environment of the structure.
