Heat Balance of a Thermal Zone

edit

As mentioned above, this balance appears to assume no HVAC system and no infiltration or ventilation. Surface Inside Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate is only valid for opaque surfaces, so this is missing conduction through the window which for this particular view of the heat balance should be Surface Window Inside Face Glazing Net Infrared Heat Transfer Rate. Plus, reflected solar and visible internal gains can leave through the window, so you need Surface Window Shortwave from Zone Back Out Window Heat Transfer Rate. And are all of the internal gains 100% radiant? If not then you also need Zone Total Internal Convective Heating Rate. If you haven't found this already, all of the output variables are defined in the Input Output Reference - search on the variable name.

Bearing in mind the above mentioned equation (from Szokolay). I have selected the followings for a simple one zone model

Surface Heat storage Rate/Energy (all the surfaces with thermal mass)

(int load-in case of only radiant internal gains) Zone Electric Equipment Total Heating Energy

(Solar heat gains) Zone Windows Total Transmitted Solar Radiation Rate Zone Windows Total Heat Gain/Loss Rate

(convective with no infiltration) Zone Ventilation Total Heat Loss/gain Energy

(conduction through building material and solar conductive heat gain) Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate Zone Windows Total Heat Loss/Gain Rate

(ideal loads) Zone Ideal Loads Zone Total Heating/cooling Energy

So far i haven't manage to demonstrate this balance.

Any suggestions, especially for evaporative heat-loss ? to my knowledge the only variables related to latent heat are the one of ideal loads and ventilation and internal loads.

thanks in advance
