The integrated direct solar radiation \(I_{dsr,j,d}\), the integrated sky solar radiation \(I_{isr,j,d}\), and the integrated long-wavelength radiation \(I_{nsr,j,d}\) to the envelope j on date \(d\) are calculated according to the azimuth and tilt angle of the envelope j as follows. Note that 0.5 in the formula is the sky view factor from a vertical surface, and 0.1 is the solar reflectance at the ground surface. Also, \(\theta_{j,d,t}\) is the angle between the normal of envelope j and the sun direction at date \(d\) time t, \(h_{sun,d,t}\) is the sun altitude at date \(d\) time t, and \(\theta_{sun,d,t}\) is the sun azimuth angle at date \(d\) time t. \(\eta_{j,d,t}\) is the angle-of-incidence characteristic of the envelope j at date \(d\) time t, which should be obtained by the following formula. \(\eta_{max}\) is the maximum value of \(\eta_{j,d,t}\), which is 0.89.

\[ I_{dsr,j,d} = \sum_{t=1}^{24} \left( S_{dsr,d,t} \times \cos \theta_{j,d,t} \right) \]
\[ I'_{dsr,j,d} = \sum_{t=1}^{24} \left( S_{dsr,d,t} \times \cos \theta_{j,d,t} \times \eta_{j,d,t} \right) \]
\[ I_{isr,j,d} = \begin{cases} \sum_{t=1}^{24} \left( 0.5 \times S_{isr,d,t} + 0.1 \times 0.5 \times \left( S_{isr,d,t} + S_{dsr,d,t} \times \sin h_{sun,d,t} \right) \right) , & (\theta_{env,slp,j} = 90) \\ \sum_{t=1}^{24} S_{isr,d,t} , & (\theta_{env,slp,j} = 0) \end{cases} \]
\[ I_{nsr,j,d} = \begin{cases} \sum_{t=1}^{24} \left( 0.5 \times S_{nsr,d,t} \right), & (\theta_{wall,slp,j} = 90) \\ \sum_{t=1}^{24} S_{nsr,d,t}, & (\theta_{wall,slp,j} = 0) \end{cases} \]
\[ \eta_{j,d,t} = \frac{ 2.3920 \times \cos \theta_{j,d,t} - 3.8636 \times \cos^{3} \theta_{j,d,t} + 3.7568 \times \cos^{5} \theta_{j,d,t} - 1.3952 \times \cos^{7} \theta_{j,d,t} }{ \eta_{max} } \]
\[ \cos \theta_{j,d,t} = \max \left\{ 0,\ \cos h_{sun,d,t} \times \left( \cos \theta_{sun,d,t} \times \cos \theta_{env,drct,j} + \sin \theta_{sun,d,t} \times \sin \theta_{env,drct,j} \right) \right\} \]

The sine and cosine values of the solar altitude \(h_{sun,d,t}\) [rad] and the solar azimuth angle \(\theta_{sun,d,t}\) [rad] at date \(d\), time \(t\)are calculated as follows. Note that the unit of angle in obtaining the sine and cosine is radian.

\[ \sin h_{sun,d,t} = \sin(lati) \sin (del_{d}) + \cos (lati) \cos (del_{d}) + \cos (Tim_{d,t}) \]
\[ \cos h_{sun,d,t} = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 (h_{sun,d,t})} \]
\[ \sin \theta_{sun,d,t} = \frac{ \cos (del_{d}) \sin (Tim_{d,t}) }{ \cos h_{sun,d,t} } \]
\[ \cos \theta_{sun,d,t} = \frac{ \sin h_{sun,d,t} \sin(lati) - \sin(del_{d}) } { \cos h_{sun,d,t} \cos (lati) } \]

where \(del_{d}\) [rad] is the solar declination of date \(d\) and \(e_{d}\) [rad] is the equation of time on date \(d\), which is obtained from the following formula. The daynum(d) in the formula is the function to find the day of year of the date \(d\).

\[ \begin{aligned} del_{d} &= 0.006322 \\ &\quad - 0.405748 \times \cos(w + 0.153231) \\ &\quad - 0.005880 \times \cos(2w - 0.207099) \\ &\quad - 0.003233 \times \cos(3w + 0.620129) \end{aligned} \]
\[ \begin{aligned} e_{d} &= -0.0002786409 \\ &\quad + 0.1227715 \times \cos(w + 1.498311) \\ &\quad - 0.1654575 \times \cos(2w - 1.261546) \\ &\quad - 0.00535383 \times \cos(3w - 1.1571) \end{aligned} \]
\[ w = \begin{cases} \frac{2\pi} {366} \times daynum(d), & (daynum(d) \leqq 59) \\ \frac{2\pi} {366} \times \{daynum(d) + 1\}, & (\mbox{otherwise}) \end{cases} \]

\(Tim_{d,t}\) [rad] is the hour angle at date \(d\) time t, which is obtained from the following formula. Where, time t is from 1 to 24.

\[ Tim_{d,t} = \frac{\pi}{12} \times (t + e_{d} -12) + longi - \frac{3\pi}{4} \]

2.4.2

The steady-state heat gain due to solar radiation from windows, etc. in room i on date \(d\) \(Q_{wind,s,i,d}\) is calculated by the following method a) for a window, etc. exposed to the sun, and by the following method b) for a window, etc. not exposed to the sun. For the sunshade effect coefficient on date \(d\), either the sunshade effect coefficient (cooling) or the sunshade effect coefficient (heating) should be applied, depending on the cooling/heating season on date \(d\).

\[ Q_{wind,s,i,d} = \sum_{j=1} Q_{wind,s,i,j,d} \]

a) If the orientation of the envelope, etc. j is not "in shade",

\[ Q_{wind,s,i,j,d} = \left( \gamma_{wind,i,j,d} \times A_{wind,i,j} \times \frac{\eta_{i,j}}{0.88} \times (\eta_{max} \times I'_{dsr,i,j,d} + 0.808 \times I_{isr,i,j,d}) \right) \]
\[ \gamma_{wind,i,j,d} = \begin{cases} \gamma_{wind,c,i,j}, & (\mbox{cooling/heating season is "cooling season" or "intermediate season"}) \\ \gamma_{wind,h,i,j}, & (\mbox{cooling/heating season is "heating season"}) \end{cases} \]

b) If the orientation of the envelope, etc. j is "in shade",

\[ Q_{wind,s,i,j,d} = 0 \]

The "0.88" in the formula is the solar heat gain for standard glass, and the "0.808" is the angle-of-incidence characteristic for sky solar radiation and reflected solar radiation.

In this calculation method, for simplicity, heat generations from room lighting, human body and equipment are treated as steady-state heat gain with no time delay. However, if date \(d\) is not air-conditioned day, both of these should be set to 0. Whether a day is air-conditioned day or not is defined by the standard room use conditions for each room use.

a) If the air conditioning is ON on date \(d\) for room i (\(O_{AC,room,i,d}={\mathrm{True}}\)),

\[ Q_{AC,room,in,i,d} = (Q_{AC,room,light,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,human,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,app,i,d}) \]

b) If the air conditioning is OFF on date \(d\) for room i (\(O_{AC,room,i,d}={\mathrm{False}}\)),

\[ Q_{AC,room,in,i,d} = 0 \]

2.4.4 Daily Integrated Room Load

The daily integrated room load is calculated by calculating the daily integrated steady-state heat gain per unit floor area based on the envelope configuration of each room and multiplying it by the "factor for converting steady-state heat gain to room load".

2.5.1

First, calculate the cooling load due to temperature difference \(Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d}\)[Wh/(m2・d)], heating load due to temperature difference \(Q_{AC,room,th,i,d}\)[Wh/(m2・d)], cooling load due to solar radiation \(Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d }\)[Wh/(m2・d)], respectively. For convenience, the cooling load is expressed as a positive value and the heating load as a negative value, and \(Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d}≥0\), \(Q_{AC,room,th,i,d}≤0\), \(Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d}≥0\).

a) If the air conditioning is ON on date \(d\) for room i,

\[ Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d} = \max⁡(a_{tc1,d} \times Q_{AC,room,tin,i,d} + a_{tc2,d},\, 0) \]
\[ Q_{AC,room,th,i,d} = \min⁡(a_{th1,d} \times Q_{AC,room,tin,i,d} + a_{th2,d},\, 0) \]
\[ Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d} = \max⁡(a_{sc1,d} \times Q_{AC,room,sin,i,d} + a_{sc2,d},\, 0) \]

b) If the air conditioning is OFF on date \(d\) for room i,

\[ Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d} = 0 \]
\[ Q_{AC,room,th,i,d} = 0 \]
\[ Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d} = 0 \]

The coefficients for converting steady-state heat gain to room load \(\{a_{tc1,d},a_{tc2,d}\}\), \(\{a_{th1,d},a_{th2,d}\}\), and \(\{a_{sc1,d},a_{sc2,d}\}\) are defined by region, room use, cooling/heating season (cooling season, intermediate season, heating season), and the previous day’s air conditioning operation status.

Based on these loads \(Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d}\), \(Q_{AC,room,th,i,d}\), \(Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d}\) and the load due to internal heat generation \(Q_{AC,room,in,i,d}\), the daily integrated room load is calculated by following procedure.

Step 1) Find the following A and B.

a) If \(Q_{AC,room,th,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d}<0\),

\[ A = Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d} \]
\[ B = Q_{AC,room,th,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d} \]

b) If \(Q_{AC,room,th,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d}≥0\),

\[ A = Q_{AC,room,tc,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,th,i,d} + Q_{AC,room,sc,i,d}\]
\[ B = 0 \]

Step 2) Find the following C and D.

(a) If \(B + Q_{AC,room,in,i,d}<0\),

\[ C = A \]
\[ D = B + Q_{AC,room,in,i,d} \]

(b) If \(B + Q_{AC,room,in,i,d}≥0\),

\[ C = A + B + Q_{AC,room,in,i,d} \]
\[ D = 0 \]

The calculated C is the daily integrated room load (cooling) for room i \(Q_{AC,room,c,i,d}\)[Wh/( m2・d )] , and D is the daily integrated room load (heating) for room i \(Q_{AC,room,h,i,d}\)[Wh/( m2・d )]. However, if date \(d\) is not a air-conditioned day, these will both be 0. Whether a day is air-conditioned day or not is defined by the standard room use conditions for each room use.
