31
Degree Days• Index of fuel consumption indicating how
many degrees the mean temperature fell below 65 degrees for the day
• Heating degree days (HDD) are used to estimate the amount of energy required for residential space heating during the cool season.
• Cooling degree days (CDD) are used to estimate the amount of air conditioning usage during the warm season
32
How do we calculate HDD?
• HDD = Tbase - Ta
– if Ta is less than Tbase • HDD = 0
– if Ta is greater or equal to Tbase
– Where: Tbase = temperature base, usually 65 F Ta = average temperature, Ta = (Tmax + Tmin) / 2
33
Heating Degree Days
• Calculate the number of degree days accumulated in one day in which the average outside temperature is 17ºF.
Degree days = 1 day ( 65 – Tout)
= 1 (65-17)= 48 degree days
34
Heating Degree Days in a Heating Season
• Calculate the degree days accumulated during a 150-day heating season if the average outside temperature is 17ºF
Solution:Heating Season Degree days
= 150 days ( 65 – Tout) = 150 (65-17)
= 7,200 degree days

Significance of HDD
• Mrs. Young is moving from Anchorage, Alaska (HDD =10,780) to State college, PA (HDD = 6,000). Assuming the cost of energy per million Btu is the same at both places, by what percentage her heating costs will change?
SolutionHDD in Anchorage, Alaska = 10,780HDD in State College PA = 6,000Difference = 10,780 - 6,000 = 4,780Saving in heating fuel costs are

Home Heating Costs
• Related to amount of insulation, material that resists the flow of heat– Insulation is rated in terms of
thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value of thermal insulation depends on the type of material, its thickness, and density.
– R-30 better than R-11
40
Places to Insulate
• Attic is usually the easiest ad most cost effective place to add insulation
• Floors above unheated basements should be insulated
• Heated basements should be insulated around the foundaton

Calculation per Day
• Heat loss per day = (674 BTU/hr)(24 hr) = 16,168 BTU
• Note that this is just through the wall• The loss through the floor and ceiling is
a separate calculation, and usually involves different R-values
48
Calculate loss per "degree day"
• If the conditions of case II prevailed all day, you would require 40 degree-days of heating, and therefore require 40 degree-days x 404 BTU/degree day = 16168 BTU to keep the inside temperature constant.
•This is the loss per day with a one degree difference between inside and outside temperature.
49
Heat Loss for Entire Heating Season.
• The typical heating requirement for a Pittsburgh heating season, September to May, is 5960 degree-days (a long-term average).
Heat loss = Q/t = 404 Btu/degree day x 5960 degree days= 2.4 Million Btus

Economics of Adding Insulation
• Years to Payback =
C(i) x R(1) x R(2) x E------------------------------------- C(e) x [R(2) - R(1)] x HDD x 24
• C(i) = Cost of insulation in $/square feet• C(e) = Cost of energy, expressed in $/Btu• E = Efficiency of the heating system• R(1) = Initial R-value of section• R(2) = Final R-value of section• R(2) - R(1) = R-value of additional insulation being considered• HDD = Heating degree days/year• 24 = Multiplier used to convert heating degree days to heating hours (24
hours/day).

Fuel Costs
• Electric resistance heat cost =$0.082 (price per kWh) / [ 0.003413 x 0.97 (efficiency)] = $24.77 per million Btu.
• Natural gas (in central heating system) cost =$6.60 (per thousand cubic feet) / [ 1.0 x 0.80 (efficiency)] = $8.25 per million Btu.
• Oil (in central heating system) cost =$0.88 (price per gallon) / [ 0.14 x 0.80 (efficiency)] = $7.86 per million Btu.
• Propane (in central heating system) cost =$0.778 (price per gallon) / [ 0.0913 x 0.80 (efficiency)] = $10.65 per million Btu.
57
Heating Systems
• Some hot water systems circulate water through plastic tubing in the floor, called radiant floor heating.
58
Electric Heating Systems
1. Resistance heating systems Converts electric current directly into heat
1. usually the most expensive 2. Inefficient way to heat a building
2. Heat pumpsUse electricity to move heat rather than to generate
it, they can deliver more energy to a home than they consume
1. Most heat pumps have a COP of 1.5 to 3.5.2. All air-source heat pumps (those that
exchange heat with outdoor air, as opposed to bodies of water or the ground) are rated with a "heating season performance factor" (HSPF)
59
Geothermal Heat Pumps
• They use the Earth as a heat sink in the summer and a heat source in the winter, and therefore rely on the relative warmth of the earth for their heating and cooling production.

Benefits of a GHP System
• Low Energy Use• Free or Reduced-Cost Hot Water• Year-Round Comfort • Low Environmental Impact • Durability• Reduced Vandalism • Zone Heating and Cooling• Low Maintenance
61
Solar Heating and Cooling
• Most American houses receive enough solar energy on their roof to provide all their heating needs all year!– Active Solar– Passive Solar
62
Passive Solar
• A passive solar system uses no external energy, its key element is good design:
• House faces south• South facing side has maximum
window area (double or triple glazed)• Roof overhangs to reduce cooling costs• Thermal mass inside the house (brick,
stones or dark tile)
63
Passive Solar
• Deciduous trees on the south side to cool the house in summer, let light in in the winter.
• Insulating drapes (closed at night and in the summer)
• Greenhouse addition• Indirect gain systems also such as
large concrete walls to transfer heat inside

Active Solar Heating
• Flat plate collectors are usually placed on the roof or ground in the sunlight.
• The sunny side has a glass or plastic cover.
• The inside space is a black absorbing material.
• Air or water is pumped (hence active) through the space to collect the heat.
• Fans or pumps deliver the heat to the house

• Solar Collectors heat fluid and the heated fluid heats the space either directly or indirectly

Efficiency of Furnace
• The "combustion efficiency" gives you a snapshot in time of how efficient the heating system is while it is operating continuously
• The "annual fuel utilization efficiency" (AFUE) tells you how efficient the system is throughout the year, taking into account start-up, cool-down, and other operating losses that occur in real operating conditions.– AFUE is a more accurate measure of
efficiency and should be used if possible to compare heating systems.

Tips (Individual) to Save Energy and Environment
• Set your thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and as high as is comfortable in the summer.
• Clean or replace filters on furnaces once a month or as needed.
• Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure they're not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or drapes.
• Bleed trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season; if in doubt about how to perform this task, call a professional.
• Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and the radiators.
73
Tips (Individual) to Save Energy and Environment
• Use kitchen, bath, and other ventilating fans wisely; in just 1 hour, these fans can pull out a houseful of warmed or cooled air. Turn fans off as soon as they have done the job.
• During the heating season, keep the draperies and shades on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows. During the cooling season, keep the window coverings closed during the day to prevent solar gain.
74
Tips (Individual) to Save Energy and Environment
• Close an unoccupied room that is isolated from the rest of the house, such as in a corner, and turn down the thermostat or turn off the heating for that room or zone. However, do not turn the heating off if it adversely affects the rest of your system. For example, if you heat your house with a heat pump, do not close the vents—closing the vents could harm the heat pump.
• Select energy-efficient equipment when you buy new heating and cooling equipment. Your contractor should be able to give you energy fact sheets for different types, models, and designs to help you compare energy usage. Look for high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings and the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The national minimums are 78% AFUE and 10 SEER.
