OTTV

Uploaded by

suaidah shima
This document provides the steps and calculations for determining the Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) of a building. It includes calculating wall and window areas, solar absorption factor, window-to-wall ratio, wall U-value, and orientation and shading factors. Two ways to improve the OTTV are proposed: adding horizontal sun shading to windows to reduce the shading coefficient, and changing the glass to a double-glazed option with low-emissivity coating and ceramic printing.

GROUP: AP256 3A
LECTURER NAME : DR. ASMAT ISMAIL
DATE OF SUBMISSION: DECEMBER 2019
STEP FOR OTTV CALCULATION
1. Determine the orientation of each elevation.
2. Determine the wall for OTTV calculation
3. Calculate the wall areas.

Total wall area at North /South elevation = 1149 m²


Total wall area at West /East elevation = 1,322 m²

4. Determine the Solar Absorption Factor (α)

Wall to be light colour painted, assumed α = 0.20

Table 6. Solar absorptivity

Colour Suggested value of α


Light < 0.40
Medium 0.40 to 0.70
Dark > 0.70

5. Calculate the window to wall ratio (WWR).

NORTH ELEVATION SOUTH ELEVATION EAST/ WEST ELEVATION


Total Wall Area(y)=1,149 m² Total Wall Area(y)=1,149 m² Total Wall Area(y)=1,322 m²
Total window area(x)=740m² Total window area(x)=710m² Total window area(x)=810m²
WWR=x/y=740/1,149 WWR=x/y=710/1,149 WWR=x/y=810/1,322
WWR=0.64 WWR=0.62 WWR=0.61
6. Calculate the wall U-Value.

8. Fill the SC and U-Value for glazing provided.

The u-value of 5 mm thick glass = 5.7 W/m2k


SC value for glazing is 0.51

9. Done for heat conduction through windows.


10. Fill in the Orientation Factor according Table 5 [Solar Correction Factors] in MS1525:2014

Table 5. Solar orientation factors

Orientation OF

North 0.90

Northeast 1.09

East 1.23

Southeast 1.13

South 0.92

Southwest 0.90

West 0.94

Northwest 0.90
NOTES:
1. Table 5 specifies OF for the various orientation of the fenestration. For the calculation of OF, it is recommended that
the nearest predominant orientation be selected.
2. A fenestration system may consist of a glazing material such as glass, a shading device and a combination of both.

11. Determine the SC2 Shading Devices according sun shading design and refer to Table 5,6,7 MS1525:2014. [SC2 = 1, no sun shading
devices]
WAYS TO IMPROVE OTTV
1. Review sunshades and its Shading Coefficient (SC) in Table 5, 6 and 7.
Proposal: Provision of two layer of horizontal sun shading (450mm) refer to table of Shading Coefficient Horizontal Projection from
MS1525:2014

0.48

2.Review glass selection and its Shading Coefficient (SC1).
Proposal: Changing the glass to double glazed glass: ASG Green Float with 30% coverage ceramic printing on surface and Clear Low E Float
[U-value = 1.92; SC = 0.21].
