Analysis of heat gain against cooling capacity at occupied building
This project is carried out to indentify whether the existing cooling capacity is suffice for an occupied building. The first objective of this project is to determine the heat gain of Block W when it’s fully occupied. The second objective of this project is to compare the calculated heat gain again...
