Monitored Summer Peak Attic Air Temperatures In Florida Residences, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker
FSEC Energy Research Center®
Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has analyzed measured summer attic air temperature data taken for some 21 houses (three with two different roof configurations) over the last several years. The analysis is in support of the calculation within ASHRAE Special Project 152P which will be used to estimate duct system conductance gains which are exposed to the attic space. Knowledge of prevailing attic thermal conditions are critical to the duct heat transfer calculations for estimation of impacts on residential cooling system sizing.
The field data was from a variety of residential monitoring projects which were classified according to intrinsic differences …
