What is the impact of WWR on Sensible Cooling Load and Energy Use?
Project Location: Zone 0A Extremely Hot Humid
Simulation Scale: Whole Building
Application: Conceptual
Audience: Academic
What is this graphic showing? Describe the different parts of the graphic and how it communicates the data.
The graphics illustrate the percentage increase in the Sensible Cooling Loads and Energy Consumption in the office building when only the Window Wall Ratio (WWR) is increased, while the U-value and the SHGC of the glazing are kept constant for each iteration.
What type of graphic is this?
- Diagram
Design Variables
- Glazing Fraction/Window to Wall ratio
Is this part of the ASHRAE-209 cycle?
