Abstract
Basic problems and unique features of building heat transfer are described in relation to the heating and cooling load calculation, which is a starting point for building energy consumption analysis and equipment sizing. Detailed discussion is given of the relationship between heat loss (heat gain) and heating load (cooling load). Also outlined is a discussion of the multi-space heat transfer problem in which the air and heat exchange equations among adjacent spaces in a building are solved simultaneously with the radiant heat exchange equations for the surfaces of each room.
