    Study Notes

    Ventilation Rate

    • Ventilation rate is typically expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM).
    • It is usually determined by factors such as occupancy, building size, and activity level of the occupants.
    • In residential buildings that depend on infiltration for ventilation, the common measure is air changes per hour (ACH).

    Air Changes Per Hour

    • A tightly insulated house typically experiences a winter ACH range of 0.1 to 0.5, indicating a very low exchange of indoor and outdoor air.

    ASHRAE Recommendations

    • ASHRAE recommends revising the 62-2001 standard to include updated guidelines for enhanced ventilation rates in buildings.

    Solar Radiation Concepts

    • Insolation refers to the amount of solar radiation that reaches a specific area over a designated time.
    • Global solar radiation encompasses the total amount of solar energy received, including direct sunlight and diffuse radiation.
    • Hourly irradiation denotes the solar energy received in an hour, typically measured in kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m²).
    • Diffuse radiation is sunlight that has been scattered by particles in the atmosphere before reaching the earth’s surface.

    Solar Irradiance Measurement

    • Solar irradiance is quantified in watts per square meter (W/m²), representing the power of solar energy received per unit area.
