Abstract
This study primarily aims 1) at analyzing how the heat load characteristics (integrated annually, monthly and at peak time, the outside temperature-heat load relationship and the annual load frequency distribution) are affected by the types of various building elements and also. 2) at developing a simplified method to estimate the heat load characteristics. The authors analyzed heat load characteristics by utilizing the "design of experiments" (DOE) technique which is one of the method of Numerical Statistics. The DOE method has been defined as method to obtain an objective conclusion through an effective experiment for the phenomenon affected by complicated factors. A large number of simulation results were subjected to analysis of variance, and a set of tables indicating the degrees of effects of the significant elements on the heat load characteristics was prepared on a consistent basis. The heat load characteristics of any space can be obtained by these tables through a few arithmetic operations.
