2.3.

3 Internal Loads
2.3.3.1 People Loads. Adjusted (normal male/female/child), per person.
Sensible/Latent
Office (seated light work, typing) 255 Btu/hr 255 Btu/hr
Factory (light bench work) 345 Btu/hr 435 Btu/hr
Factory (light machine work) 345 Btu/hr 695 Btu/hr
Gymnasium athletics 635 Btu/hr 1165 Btu/hr
2.3.3.2 Lights and Equipment
2.3.3.2.1 Lights
Q = 3.41 x W x Ful x Fsa (Eq 2.10)
where:
W = total light wattage,
Ful = use factor, and
Fsa = special allowance factor for fluorescent fixtures or for fixtures that release only part of
their heat to the conditioned space.
2.3.3.2.2 Equipment
(1) Motors within conditioned space or within airstream.
Q = 2545 x HP/(E x Flm x Fum) (Eq 2.11)
m
where:
HP = motor horsepower,
Em = motor efficiency,
Flm = motor load factor, and
Fum = motor use factor.
(2) Appliances and equipment, such as business machines and computers. Refer to
ASHRAE Handbook, Fundamentals and manufacturer’s data to determine sensible and
latent heat gains from equipment.
Qs = 3.41 x W x Fue (Eq 2.12)
where:

Qs = sensible load,
W = appliance wattage, and
Fue = equipment use factor.
2.3.3.3 Heat Gain From Miscellaneous Sources
2.3.3.3.1 HVAC Fan Motors (Outside the Airstream). Typically, thirty-five percent of the
input to an HVAC fan motor is converted to heat in the airstream because of fan inefficiency.
2.3.3.3.2 HVAC Fan Motors (Within the Airstream). The motor load is converted to heat.
2.3.3.3.3 Duct Leakage. Loss of supply air due to duct leakage shall be compensated by
system capacity as follows:
(1) Well designed and constructed system: increase fan capacity by 3 percent.
(2) Poorly designed and constructed system: increase fan capacity by 10 percent.
