Notes:
a.) Values were obtained from ASHRAE Fundamentals 2001 (IP) Edition, Chapter 29 Table 22.
b.) The roof layer details are taken from Architectural drawings.
Solving for Roof U - VALUE:
Resistance = t / k
U - VALUE = 1 / Total Resistance = 1 / 22.353
U - VALUE = 0.045 BTU / hr-ft2-°F
Adding 20% for non ideal field condition:
Total U-Value = 0.045 + (0.045 x 0.20)
= 0.054 BTU / hr-ft2-°F
SAES-N-004, Para. 4.4: “The overall heat transmission coefficient (U-factor) of insulated roofs, walls, partitions or floors shall not exceed 0.568 W/(m² °K) or (0.10 Btu/h ft² °F)”. Therefore, calculated Roof U-factor of 0.054 Btu / hr-ft2-°F is within limit.

2.3 RATES OF HEAT GAINS FROM OCCUPANTS
The rates of heat gain from occupants of conditioned spaces are in accordance with ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, 2009 Edition Chapter 29 Table 1. The rates of heat gain for this facility used on the calculation are as follows:
Type of Activity : Seated, very light works
Sensible Heat Gain : 250 Btu/Hr
Latent Heat Gain : 200 Btu/Hr

2.5 OUTDOOR AIR REQUIREMENTS
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
a. The outdoor air requirement for ventilation is in accordance with ASHRAE Std. 62, Table 2. The number of occupants is accordance with architectural furniture layout.

3 Battery Room 346 0 Direct 606 606
TOTAL 1953
Since Switchgear Building is UNMANNED, No Outside Air Required due to Occupants.
However, Outside Air shall be provided to Maintain Pressurization in order to prevent ingress of sand, fumes, dusts, etc.
b. In accordance with SAES-K-001, Section 4.4.11.2(a), the minimum amount of outside air shall equal the greater than 5% of supply air plus all exhaust air.
Based on cooling load calculation:
Total supply air = 12,385 CFM
Exhaust air (CFM):
Battery Room = 606 CFM
Outside Air = (0.05 x 12,385) + 606
Outside Air = 1,279 CFM
The ventilation air (1,279 CFM) as per SAES-K-001, Section 4.4.11.2(a) is less than the ventilation air from above Table (1,953 CFM), therefore 1,953 CFM outdoor air for ventilation will be used.

4.0 AIR CONDITIONING UNIT SELECTION
The selection of air-cooled condensing units is in accordance with SAES-K-001, Section 4.2.1.7. The summer design dry bulb temperature at 1% exceedance and the following shall be used:
a. The summer dry bulb temperature at 1% exceedance + 10 °F for facilities within Plant areas.
b. The summer dry bulb temperature at 1% exceedance + 5 °F for facilities located in areas other than plant areas.
