Statutes Interpreted : ss. 101 .02. (1 5) and 10 Stats,, Under s. 101 .02 (15) and s. 101 . 12, Stats ,,, the Department of Industry , Labor and Human Relations has the responsibility of protecting public health, safety and welfare relative to the construction of public buildings and places of employment .. A key element of fulfilling this responsibility has been promulgation of the commercial building code, chapters ILHR 50 to 64. The effect of the proposed rule change is primarily a revision of ch . ILHR 63, Energy Conservation, and ch. ILHR 64, Heating Ventilating and . Air Conditioning (HVAC) in the code edition that was published in December, 1995 whichh has not yet become effective (Clearinghouse Rule No , 94-116) „ Chapters ILHR 63 and 64 are based on standards published by the American Society of Heating and Refrigerating . Engineers (ASHRAE) . As newer editions of those standards are issued, the code needs to be updated to be consistent with current technology and building practices . The purposee of the December, 1995 edition of the rules was to improve indoor air quality in buildings and to comply with the federal Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) which requires all states to revise their commercial building codes to meet or exceed the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning . Engineers/Illuminating Engineering Society (ASHRAE/EIS) standard 90.1-1989. A summary of the major changes made in the December, 1995 edition of the code follows the discussion of the proposed rule changes . After adoption of ' xhe December. 1995 editionof the rules, but before the effective date, information was provided to the department that indicates that two of the provision s of the rules would cause excess ive costs for' ' building owners without commensurate benefit .. The two 11 provisions were : the requirement for ventilation systems to be sized to accommodate the maximum building capacity when the intended use is for fewer, occupants and the requirement that buildings that are used as factories and warehouses that are not conditioned for human comfort be insulated to the same levell as buildings for other uses . The Department reconvened its Energy/HVAC Code Advisory Committee to review the issues and revise the rules .. The major revisi ons to the rules in the proposal are summarized below .. The scope sections of both chapters have been expanded to provide moree guidance and detail on how the rules are applied to additions and alterations of existing buildings . The proposal revises the code so that factories and warehouses ' that are not conditioned to provide human comfort may be constructed in accordance with the thermal envelope requirements contained in the code that is currently in effect (published January 1994) . In factories, although there may be some space heating for occupant comfort, the primary energy use is usually associatedd with manufacturing or commercial or industrial processing . The ASHRAE/EIS standard recognizes that the levels of insulation appropriate for other building types may not be appropriate for factories . The requirements for insulation of building thermal envelopes under the ASHRAE/EIS standard 90 . 1-1989 are based on the assumption that the primary energy use in the building is to provide human comfort. The requirements for building thermal envelopes have been reformatted in the proposed rules to achieve the same level of ene r~y efficiency with greater ease 'of use. Easier methods are provided for trade-offs between the insulation levels in opaque portions of walls and roofs and for trade-offs between the opaque portions of walls and windows .. The exemption of high efficiency lighting from the exterior lighting budget is inconsistent with the EPACT law and is repealed,. The ventilation system requirements are revised so that the design and operation of the system may be based on the actual occupant load in the entire area served by the system, with outside air supplied at 7.5 cubic feet 'per minute per person . This eliminates the requirement to oversize the system . The term "air movement" is replaced by " air change" or "air change rate" throughoutthe chapter. The fee code, ch ,. ILHR 2, has also been revised to allow lighting documents or worksheets to be submitted as a component of the architectural plans for no additional fee or to be submitted alone for a lower fee .. The proposed rules were developed after consultation with the Energy/HUAC Code Advisory Committee .

Harry Sulzer, City of` Madison Planning & Development Department Robert Wiedenhoefer, Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Contractors ' National Association, Madison Chapter A synopsis of the major code revisions that were made in the December,. 1995 edition follows.. In the December, 1995 edition, ch . ILHR 63 was revised to consist of seven subchapters : Subchapter I - Scope and Purpose ; Subchapter II - Definitions ; Subchapter III - Building Envelope; Subchapter IV - Equipment and Systems; Subchapter V - Lighting Power ; Subchapter. VI - Non-Depletable Energy; and Subchapter VII - System Analysis Design . The previous _ edition of the code contained a subchapter on water heating, those requirements were updated and added to the Wisconsin Administrative Plumbing Code in a separate rulemaking action . Subchapter I - Scope and Purpose, was revised to include new rules on those alterations, including lighting system alterations, that would fall within the scope of the code . Subchapter II - Definitions, was completely rewritten to include definitions to go with the rev ised code requirements. A majority of the definitions were taken directly from the ASHRAE /EIS 90,,l standard. Subchapter III - Building Envelope, contains the building envelope requirements from the ASHRAE/EIS 90.1 standard with some simplifications and Wisconsin-specific modifications ,. Subchapter III contains basic requirements for moisture migration, infiltration and skylights that must be met in any case.

  • Thermal Conductivity 1 Thermal Conductivity
    Thermal conductivity 1 Thermal conductivity In physics, thermal conductivity, , is the property of a material's ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Fourier's Law for heat conduction. Thermal conductivity is measured in watts per kelvin-meter (W·K−1·m−1, i.e. W/(K·m) or in IP units (Btu·hr−1·ft−1·F−1, i.e. Btu/(hr·ft⋅F). Multiplied by a temperature difference (in kelvins, K) and an area (in square meters, m2), and divided by a thickness (in meters, m), the thermal conductivity predicts the rate of energy loss (in watts, W) through a piece of material. In the window building industry "thermal conductivity" is expressed as the U-Factor [1], which measures the rate of heat transfer and tells you how well the window insulates. U-factor values are generally recorded in IP units (Btu/(hr·ft⋅F)) and usually range from 0.15 to 1.25. The lower the U-factor, the better the window insulates. The reciprocal of thermal conductivity is thermal resistivity. Measurement There are a number of ways to measure thermal conductivity. Each of these is suitable for a limited range of materials, depending on the thermal properties and the medium temperature. There is a distinction between steady-state and transient techniques. In general, steady-state techniques are useful when the temperature of the material does not change with time. This makes the signal analysis straightforward (steady state implies constant signals). The disadvantage is that a well-engineered experimental setup is usually needed. The Divided Bar (various types) is the most common device used for consolidated rock samples.

  • Thermal Metrics for High Performance Enclosure Walls: the Limitations of R-Value
    building science.com © 2009 Building Science Press All rights of reproduction in any form reserved. Thermal Metrics for High Performance Enclosure Walls: The Limitations of R-Value Research Report - 0901 2007 John Straube Abstract: This document summarizes the theory behind thermal insulation and building system heat flow control metrics and presents a literature review of selected research into this area. RR-0901: Thermal Metrics for High Performance Enclosure Walls: The Limitations of R-Value Review of the R-value as a Metric for High Thermal Performance Building Enclosures. 1 Introduction The R-value was developed over 50 years ago to provide users and specifiers of insulation with an easy-to-compare, repeatable measure of insulation performance. Everett Schuman, an early director of Penn State’s housing research institute, is often credited with first proposing (in 1945) and popularizing standardized measures of resistance to heat transfer. R-values were later widely applied to industrial and residential insulating materials and helped consumers make more energy-efficient choices. The strength of the R-value is that it is simple to measure, easy to communicate, and widely accepted. Over recent decades a much broader range of insulation types, and application methods of insulation have been developed and deployed than were available when the R-value was conceived. As the building industry strives to reduce energy consumption for environmental and economic reasons, building enclosures with high thermal performance, reliably and affordably installed in the field are demanded. The R-value of the insulation products in many of the new building enclosure systems is increasingly unable to measure their actual thermal performance because system effects, sensitivity to construction defects, and airflow can play such a significant role in overall performance.

  • Heat Transfer
    CHAPTER 9 Heat Transfer 9.1. INTRODUCTION In the majority of chemical processes heat is either given out or absorbed, and fluids must often be either heated or cooled in a wide range of plant, such as furnaces, evaporators, distillation units, dryers, and reaction vessels where one of the major problems is that of transferring heat at the desired rate. In addition, it may be necessary to prevent the loss of heat from a hot vessel or pipe system. The control of the flow of heat at the desired rate forms one of the most important areas of chemical engineering. Provided that a temperature difference exists between two parts of a system, heat transfer will take place in one or more of three different ways. Conduction. In a solid, the flow of heat by conduction is the result of the transfer of vibrational energy from one molecule to another, and in fluids it occurs in addition as a result of the transfer of kinetic energy. Heat transfer by conduction may also arise from the movement of free electrons, a process which is particularly important with metals and accounts for their high thermal conductivities. Convection. Heat transfer by convection arises from the mixing of elements of fluid. If this mixing occurs as a result of density differences as, for example, when a pool of liquid is heated from below, the process is known as natural convection. If the mixing results from eddy movement in the fluid, for example when a fluid flows through a pipe heated on the outside, it is called forced convection.

  • Heat Loss Calculations and Principles
    Heat Loss Calculations and Principles Course No: M05-003 Credit: 5 PDH A. Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] HVAC HEATING LOSS CALCULATIONS & PRINCIPLES Introduction There are two different but related calculated values of interest to the heating system designer. The first is to estimate the maximum rate of heat loss to properly size the heating equipment (furnace). The second calculated value that must be determined is the annual heating bill. This is determined by calculating the annual energy requirement based from the design heat loss rate. In this course, we will learn to determine the rate at which heat is lost through building elements using a process called heat loss calculation. You will learn how to extrapolate your calculation of a maximum hourly rate into an annual energy usage rate. You will also learn some useful tips on saving heating energy. The section-3 of the course includes one sample example. Factors Affecting Comfort in winter 1. TEMPERATURE difference between the inside and outside of the building is the primary cause of heat loss in the winter months. The greater this difference, the higher the rate of heat loss. Since most buildings are controlled to a constant inside temperature by the occupants, higher heat loss occurs when it is colder outside. This also means that the annual heating bill can be reduced by lowering the setting on the thermostat …. (but only if the occupants agree to it!) 2. WIND is the second greatest source of heat loss during the winter.
