Design standard of energy conservation for building hvac 1system – a simplified method of chiller capacity estimation 2based on building envelope energy conservation index in 3taiwan

The research developed maximum chiller cooling capacity predicting equations with building shape factor and the ENVLOAD index which is now the building envelope energy conservation design control factor in Taiwan. The models are established base on numerous DOE-2.2 simulations and statistical multi-regression techniques. Totally, there were 21 sets of predicting models be built with a satisfactory R2  of 0.8 to 0.9..
