- Abstract
- A number of design variations of a typical one-story single-family residence were analyzed to determine annual heating and cooling energy requirements. The National Bureau of Standards Load Determination computer program, NBSLD, was used to accomplish the analysis. Design details for each of the residence variations are described in detail. Annual heating and cooling energy requirement calculations are presented and discussed.
