  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
DEF

Chaleur totale qu’accumule une habitation par heure (habituellement mesuré en [kilowatt (kW)] ou en [unité thermique britannique (Btu)] par heure) lorsque la température extérieure a atteint la température extérieure de calcul estivale et que la température intérieure se trouve à la température intérieure de calcul estivale.

OBS

Le calcul des gains de chaleur tient compte des gains thermiques qui se produisent à travers les murs, les plafonds, les fondations, les fenêtres et les portes, ainsi que de la chaleur acquise en raison des fuites d’air et de la ventilation. Cette donnée est utilisée pour déterminer la puissance de l’appareil de climatisation d’une habitation.
