3903 (RP-741) — Overview of the ASHRAE Annotated Guide to Load Calculation Models and Algorithms
Describes ASHRAE RP-741, “Annotated Guide to Load Calculation Models and Algorithms.” The objective of this project is to develop an annotated bibliography of building load calculation models and algorithms. This bibliography should serve two main purposes – first, as a reference source for developers of building energy analysis programs and design load calculation programs; second, as a background review for the development of a load calculations “toolkit.” The bibliography is published separately (Spitler 1994a). An extensive literature search uncovered a total of 1,576 references that were obtained and reviewed. From these, 220 were selected for inclusion and annotation. An additional 171 references were selected for inclusion as “related references,” ones that would probably be of interest to the reader but did not include models or algorithms. Papers that compared different models, presented validation studies, commented on various aspects of the models, etc., were included in the “related references.”
