Question

Residential annual energy use. For a house with:

Air exchange rate of 0.5 h⁻¹
Cp = 1000 J/kg.K
Density of air = 1.2 kg/m3
Roof area = 144 m²; opaque wall area = 96 m²; window area = 24 m²; volume = 360 m³
Conductivity of U_wall = 0.60 W/(m²-K); U_win = 3.0 W/(m²-K); U_roof = 0.40 W/(m²-K)
Heating system efficiency of 0.85
Heating degree days (HDD) of 3500 K-days

Calculate the K_tot for this house.
Calculate the annual energy used to heat this house (in GJ).
